PLAY DAYS
Play Days are events designed to introduce kids to competition in a low-pressure setting where results are not documented. These events provide kids with the opportunity to continue to develop and enhance their skills. From beginners to more experienced players, a Play Day is a welcoming way for kids to experience the social and competitive aspects of tennis. Organized by skill level, kids have the chance to gain additional play experience by rotation of opponents in short, continuous matches over a two to three-hour period. Play Days promote a sense of achievement through a fun and spirited atmosphere. Kids 8 & Under will play doubles on 36' courts using red low-compression balls.

AVOIDANCES
We try to the best of our ability to accomodate avoidance requests for a player's first match of the tournament. After that, we are unable to accomodate avoidance requests due to the unpredictability of match outcomes and court availability. Avoidance requests must be made to the Tournament Director by the entry deadline.

THE BIG "R" POLICY
If matches are rescheduled because if weather, I will post instructions on the tournament website. IN CASE OF RAIN - Please do not leave the site. Weather can change quickly and matches may be resumed sooner than you think. Even if the weather looks "iffy" where you are (unless otherwise instructed by a tournament official) always go to your site to check in for your match, regardless of weather conditions. If there is a rain delay, alternative instructions will be provided at the tournament desk. Playing indoors will be a last resort and every effort will be made to reschedule matches outdoors if weather permits. Players may be sent to alternative locations in order to compete the matches for the day. PLEASE BE PATIENT!
