Thursday 10:15 AM Update--Draws are Posted!
Please find your child's name in the draw (and there may be multiple draws in your child's age group and ball color, so keep looking) and then look between your child's name and the opponent's name to find the match time. All matches will be played at Lakes Tennis Academy in Frisco. Please note that this tournament is a non-elimination round robin format. That means everyone will get a couple of matches win or lose.
Please check in at the Lakes Tennis Academy "schoolroom" located by Court 5 at least 15 minutes before your first round match time. Be ready to play when you check in--you've gone to the restroom, you have your rackets, hat, sunscreen, water jug, etc. Be ready to have a fun day--you can bring a picnic lunch and snacks.
Parents--be ready to help by being on court monitors to help the players keep score and keep the matches flowing. Email Sally to volunteer or let us know at the tournament desk on Saturday.
Any questions--email Sally Frame at sally10s@me.com.

The tournament is played on one day, so all draws are completed on Saturday. There are red ball, orange ball, and green ball divisions.
