Tennis queen teams with POWERADE PLAY to offer young women advice on tennis and life experience at Beverly Hills Country Club

What:
Tennis legend Venus Williams is returning home to offer an incredible tennis experience to teen girls from her hometown while helping to launch new POWERADE PLAY^TM, a sports drink geared for the young athlete with less sugar and more vitamins than traditional sports drinks.

Williams and POWERADE PLAY will transport youth members from the Greater Los Angeles chapter of the YWCA (organization that aims to empower their members to achieve their life's goals) to the Beverly Hills Country Club.

The day's visit will include a heartfelt message from Williams about the importance of setting goals and establishing good, healthy habits early in life. Then, it's off to the courts as the young women will learn from the tennis queen herself.

Williams, 29, ascended as a teen tennis prodigy from humble roots in Los Angeles County and has since dominated the women's scene (along with her younger sibling).

Who:
Tennis icon Venus Williams, YWCA Greater Los Angeles Girls Club and Beverly Hills Country Club tennis camp participants.
