All junior matches that were on the court when it rained will be rescheduled for 10:00 a.m. at Hudlow on Monday.

Due to the rain, all remaining Sunday matches will be rescheduled for Monday. I will post new time by 8:00 p.m.

Courts are dry at Hudlow and Greater Atlanta Christian. All matches on as scheduled.

Match times will be posted at 6 p.m. on Thursday, June 11.
