HIGH WIND WARNING!!!
Hello Players and Parents,
WE ARE GOING TO TRY AGAIN!! WE HAVE A LULL IN THIS WIND STORM, SO WE ARE GOING TO TRY TO GET MATCHES IN PROGRESS BACK ON. IF YOU WERE ON COURT OR IF YOU WERE SCHEDULED FOR A 9AM, 9:30AM, OR 10AM MATCH, PLEASE RETURN TO YOUR SITE TO GET BACK ON COURT BY NOON!
(I AM LEAVING THE BELOW MESSAGE FOR THE RECORD! WE ARE STILL ON A HIGH WIND ADVISORY. WE WILL TRY ONE MORE TIME, BUT IF WE GET BLOWN OFF THE COURT AGAIN, I WILL BE CANCELING FOR THE DAY!)
[We are officially on a high wind warning until 7pm. These conditions make outdoor play impossible and we don’t have enough indoor courts to accommodate the number of matches we have to get through today. USTA Colorado has asked us to postpone play for now and reassess shortly. The forecast shows sustained winds of 35-40 mph with massive gusts up to 75 mph!!! Play is, as you may know, suspended until 11:30am. At that time, I will make the call on whether we will continue play (highly unlikely!) or if we will reschedule to Tuesday & Wednesday after school this week. Thank you for your understanding as we strive to ensure the safety of all the kids and make sure they have an enjoyable playing experience. Best wishes, Coach K Kendall Chitambar Director of TennisRocky Mountain Tennis Center]

Welcome!
We're excited to have you join us for our last junior open of the season. Get ready for a lot of tennis over two days! Saturday will be all singles round robin pool play, which leads into Sunday's playoff rounds for all players. All players need to keep your schedules open for singles all day Saturday and Sunday from 8am-2pm. Doubles will start at the conclusion of all singles playoffs on Sunday. All doubles players should be ready to play no earlier than noon, but available to play the rest of the day on Sunday.
This is an outdoor tournament.
We're excited to welcome you to the RMTC Fall Junior Open!

Tournament Format - Draws posted no later than Friday, October 18th by noon.
All singles draws will utilize compass draw or round robin pool formats that lead to playoffs. We plan to complete all round robin play on Saturday throughout the day and then, for larger draws, playoffs will be played Sunday morning at RMTC-Boulder. All players should plan to be available for matches throughout the day on Saturday, as well as playoff matches for larger draws on Sunday morning as scheduled.
The purpose of this format is to provide players with an equal amount of competitive experiences to help promote their player development.

Not too late to sign up for Doubles!!
Need to know as soon as possible, but we'd love for more players to sign up for doubles to get more opportunity to play! Doubles is such an important part of each player's overall tennis development, and we always save Sunday afternoon just for this great team environment! All age groups need players! Please email me right away at TD@RMTennisCenter.com.

want to park closest to the courts on the north side, where we have our bubble
in the winter, you follow these directions instead :
From Folsom, instead of turning east onto Taft you go a
little closer to Arapahoe by going north
on Folsom and turn east into the alley that runs behind Joann’s Fabrics. You will drive a short distance and see the
