Additional ideas:
"Draw at the checking while waiting for mom & dad."
While parents discuss details with C16 staff, the front desk in C16 can have a lower table for kids - covered in large paper or with a large drawing pad and markers for the kids to draw.
The paper can feature the C16 logo, web address and other tennis icons - as a takeaway.
"Remember C16 at home"

"one of the finest historic neighborhoods in Brooklyn. Taking its name from its topography, Park Slope sits on a gentle hill that stretches from the Gowanus Canal to Prospect Park, which was designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux in 1865. Park Slope is bounded by Prospect Park to the east, Fourth Avenue to the west, Flatbush Avenue to the north, and Green-Wood Cemetery to the south."
