Championship tournament at Laurel Park
The USTA just added another tournament to the schedule for this weekend, March 4-6, at Laurel Park Tennis Center. I conducted one of my tournaments there earlier this year and it was great. The alternate site if needed, Marietta High School, is 1 mile from Laurel Park and has 10 courts used just for tournaments -- NO ALTA. So if you are not playing the Bullfrog or another tournament, click the more info link and register.
