The carnival consisted of both lessons in fundamentals and tennis related
games, and ran for about 90 minutes.
"It's for elementary students and is sponsored by the USTA to promote
tennis at all levels," Ornelas said. "What we're trying to do with the kids
is to teach them some fundamental techniques and make things fun for the
kids."
Ornelas said Tuesday's event was a warm-up for the 1-2-3 Summer Tennis
program, which is also done in conjunction with the USTA and begins next
