BOT 251 – Meet Erika Bond (All-Love Racquet Club)
If you have not yet heard the story of Erika Bond, founder of the All-Love Racquet Club, then please take a seat and have a listen. This talented ex-D1 collegiate tennis player and coach truly reflects the spirit of "Do Something." Struggling to find a tennis community in Southern California that made her feel embraced and welcomed, she took matters into her own hands and created the concept of the All-Love Racquet Club. The idea was to have an environment where everyone regardless of sex, race, religion, sexual orientation, etc., felt welcomed to come enjoy this sport we so love. Capturing the attention of brands like USTA, Wilson, and On, All-Love has produced community events across Southern California and New York. Please visit her website at www.all-loveclub.com or on social media with the handle allloveracquetclub for more information on upcoming events.
