SATURDAYS SCHEDULE OF EVENTS -- MATCH TIMES!!!
Our day will begin at 8:30-9:00am. Steve Zalinski, USTA SC Rep, will be speaking to players and parents about junior tournament tennis. Cole Donley, the Tournament Director and junior tournament coach for over 18 years, will also be on hand to answer any questions about junior tournament tennis and the USTA and rankings. This is not a mandatory meeting but a great information session for those interested in understanding how tournaments and rankings work. Again players and parents invited.
All draws were scheduled as round robins. In a round robin event, you play all the other players in your draw and the best overall record is the winner. At this level, it is important for developing players to play many matches and many varied opponents which is why we chose this format. Please look at schedule below to determine youre block of time to be at Family Circle on Saturday. If you have any questions please email or call Cole Donley at 706-340-4428. cole@mwtennisacademy.com. The draws will be posted Friday afternoon online.
