Physical description

B&W photo of five women standing on one of two indoor tennis courts. They are each holding a tennis racket. One woman is demonstrating how to hold the racket while the other four women are watching her. In the background, there are some advertising signs on the wall, including two for Prince tennis products, one for Coca-Cola soft drinks, and one for a building society (financial institution).
