Hey neighbors!
It's a pleasure to bring you my chat with Prince Boucher, Mission resident and founder of Mission Athletic Club - a tennis community that hosts FREE OF CHARGE social tennis games throughout San Francisco. Prince is such a passionate guy who is genuinely interested in bringing people together, and his work is so inspiring to me and countless others! I wasn't even a tennis fan before this conversation, but Prince's enthusiasm is so infectious, I've already signed up for a volley!
There's a little catch: you may have heard about a proposal floating around for the city to start charging an hourly fee for use of our public tennis and pickleball courts - a move that would dramatically cut court usage and make the work of the Mission Athletic Club financially unsustainable.
If you're interested signing a petition against this proposal, click here, and for more info, see the Mission Local piece here.
Thanks again to Prince and the community of volunteers at Mission Athletic Club for making movement and wellness more accessible and fun!
