Practice Cancelled: March 23rd

Tennis practice will unfortunately be cancelled today. The Bush Tennis Center is reporting high winds and has plans to cancel their lessons and clinics if conditions do not improve. I encourage all players that are participating in this Saturday's tournament to review the "Resources" section to continue working with keeping score and match play. I will send more information regarding Saturday's tournament as it becomes available to me. Thank you for all your help and support!

March 9th Practice

Hello Families!
We're so excited to begin the tennis season next week. I just wanted to make you aware of a change in our March 9th practice. The director of the Bush Tennis Center let me know that they will be hosting a Collegiate Tennis Tournament on March 9th and will be utilizing the practice courts. We have been invited to come watch, which will give our players an opportunity to see some high quality tennis, as well as work on keeping score which will be a big focus our first week. Your child will not need to suit out on this date and this practice is not mandatory. I just wanted to make you all aware. Our regular practices will resume March 21st, the week after Spring Break. Thank you again and see you all next week!
