This tournament is a Great Sports Event
Tennis comes with a bloodline of
sportsmanship that few other sports can match. Even though there are
officials roving the courts, it is still an un-officiated sport.
* Always
give the benefit of doubt to your opponent on a close line call.
* Make
calls against yourself, such as a double-bounce or touching the net while
the point is in progress.
* Call
out the score every point.
* Congratulate
your opponent on great shots.
* Parents
– be good sports outside the court.
* And
win or lose, end the match with a removal of hats and a handshake at the
net!
To reward the good sports at our
tournament the officials or directors will be handing out pins to players who
exhibit great sportsmanship and uphold the tradition of honor in our
sport.
Good luck to everyone!

NC Tennis Offers Junior Tournament Vouchers for L4 & L5 Tournaments
The North Carolina Tennis Association is again
providing tournament vouchers for current High School and Jr. Team
Tennis players in North Carolina. The NCTA Junior Competition Committee
and Board of Directors want to provide an incentive for those players in
North Carolina to get involved in USTA tournament competition.
The NCTA will pay the entry fee for the first tournament a player
enters to introduce them to the fun and camaraderie of tournament
tennis. To be eligible, a player must not have played in any sanctioned
tournament in the past. Players may use these vouchers in any sanctioned
junior FUTURES (L5), L4 (NEW this year) or Adult NTRP (provided they
allow junior entries) tournament held in North Carolina this year.
Futures tournaments are for less experienced competitive players and
will provide good competition for new tournament players. Level 4
tournaments offer more experienced competitive play. NTRP Tournaments
provide play against adult players of the same level. Vouchers are good
for singles OR doubles.
In order to use the vouchers, players must join the USTA before playing
in a tournament. The cost for a one-year junior membership is $20.00.
The membership will allow players to play in tournaments for a year and
also includes a one-year subion to Tennis magazine, which they will
receive once a month. Players can join the USTA online at www.usta.com
or by calling 1-800-990-USTA (8782).
