A Sedona tennis instructor has been recognized by the Southwest Professional Tennis Association for giving back to the community.
Larry Lineberry, a U.S. Professional Tennis Association master professional, was given the 2012 SWPTA Star Award during the SWPTA awards banquet on Jan. 26, at the Phoenix Country Club.
Recipients of the USPTA Star Award are members of whose commitments to grassroots tennis have made impressions on their communities.
Through their tennis teaching and volunteering, these members have increased the opportunities for others to participate in tennis. They exemplify and emphasize individual achievement and sportsmanship, along with teaching the physical attributes of the sport.
