IN THE SPIRIT......
We already have completed our obligation as a tournament. No refunds are required on any level. We could pack up go home and not payout another dime on the tournament. But we are out getting the courts dry and back in the day my parents helped and so did many others. We talk about how kids have changed. Well, so have parents. We do not see the same service spirit theses days helping to dry courts and facilitate play. Just a comment on how very few parents or players ever volunteer for squeegee duty any more.

SQUEEGEE SITUATION
We have ample squeegees for volunteer parents!

DRAWS WILL BE POSTED THURSDAY 2PM, AUGUST 27, 2015
The draws and schedules will be posted on Thursday at the above specified time. We will begin matches at 5:00 p.m. on Friday. There are a variety of factors which play into the scheduling we have to do and none looms more large than the increasing chance for rain. Our philosophy is not one to rush to cancel or shorten matches in any way for convenience sake. We will work to dry courts and play. Please check back to this site and or our Facebook page at "Laurel Park Tennis Center" or "Tennis Dynamics" for updates. Please do not rely on or try to call us at the Tennis Center during the tournament or during rain delays for scheduling updates.
