Hi Everybody:

I'm writing to encourage your child to try tennis this summer. Brian and I and our staff have many years of coaching experience and our philosophy is very simple, keep the game fun. The two components is Junior Development and Tennis Team, your child may do one or both. Enclosed is information on Junior Development along with classes and levels. Below is background on Tennis Team.

Facts about the team --

1. If your child can serve and can rally. We want them on the team. First step is to join the team, second step practice and third step play. This is all about the experience.

2. Join the team. We will make everyone feel they are part of the team. From practices to matches being part of the team is the theme. One rule will be observed, and that is to try. Effort is key, never about winning or losing, all about trying. The coaches will work with the parents to see what level of participation they would like to see their child at.

3. Tennis team is fun! At practices and during matches, players are matched with other players of similar ability. Kids laugh and learn! Interclub matches are a culmination of what is learned.

4. The practice schedule and match line-ups will be posted well in advance. If you cannot attend all of the tennis matches, that's okay. Let us know ahead of time.

Our first team practice will be held on Tuesday, May 29th* after school. Feel free to have your child come out and try a practice to see what the team is all about. Your child can join the team at any time this summer. The cost is $65.

Call if you have any questions!
