CHANGES MADE TO TIMES AND LOCATIONS:
Since the weather forecast is for rain the duration of the tournament I have rescheduled all the matches that were to be played outside to indoor locations. All Tunnel springs matches and Woods Cross matches have been rescheduled to the Eccless Tennis Center (ECCLE) located at 550 South Guardsman Way (1580E) in Salt Lake. The courts are directly South of Rice/Eccles Football stadium. The courts at Salt Lake Tennis club will be indoors, and Eagleridge is indoors. There may some conflicts - please let me know.

WXHS - Woods cross High School located just off 2600 S. exit in Woods Cross.
