Thank you for playing
The Garland Tennis Association wants to thank all the kids and parents for playing the Break-It-Out. We hope you had fun and will continue to learn and play tennis. We apologize for the delays but this was the largest Futures Tournament that we have ever hosted and did not anticipate the Orange Ball taking that long. We will improve scheduling for next year.

Future Stars Tournaments are one day sanctioned events for
players aged 8-14. The tournament offers an 8s division to
introduce young players to competition utilizing the Red Ball, both
Orange and Green Ball divisions for 10s of all abilities, and a
Green Ball Novice division to include beginning players ages 11-14.
(A novice player is new to tournaments and match play, with limited
experience, ability, or understanding of the game). Matches will be
played in accordance with all six Red, Orange, and Green Ball
Tennis elements respectively.
The tournament is scheduled for Saturday ONLY. Sunday will be used
only if bad weather on Saturday.
The 12U and 14U events are Novice Divisions (played with low
compression balls) and are NOT appropriate for Challenger (12U and
14U) Level players, since they are more advanced in skill. If you
have any Challenger (12U or 14U) points, you are no longer
considered a Novice Level player. Challenger(12U and 14U) level
players should play the Break-It-Out Challenger Level tournament
(see non-sanctioned tournament listings).
