Now forming Junior Team Tennis Teams

/

We want to announce an excellent opportunity for all our students to form their own team for a local USTA Junior Team Tennis event late October.  We want as many teams as possible to go and compete then have the opportunity to travel with their team to Orlando to compete regionally.  

I specifically want one or two high school teams made. This will be great practice before January tryouts. 

See flyer attached and if you need help being placed on a team come see either Coaches Cheryl, Patrick or Heather to be matched accordingly.
