Find Your Niche


Find Your Niche

The The Junior League of Atlanta's Find Your Niche ("FYN") committee has been hard at work to deliver fun, diverse, and relevant in-league social activities based on league member feedback. These groups are recurring in nature (most monthly) in order to provide social opportunities within smaller groups based on common interests. Some of the activities have cost involved and some do not.

Cardio Tennis: We have a new activity in addition to the tennis drills at Bitsy Grant – cardio tennis!  The PGA Superstore is now offering cardio tennis classes twice a week on Thursday evenings and Saturday mornings and they are FREE!  Here are the details:
