Notes
Hey Parents and Players!
What a great day of tennis today. You all were fantastic. All the
players are playing so well. Parents and coaches, you all were
great, patient, aaaaand...patient. The weather was beautiful. There
were an abnormal amount of awesome 3 set matches today. That is a
great sign of how many fighters we had in this tournament.
To the elephant in the room. We are expecting rain around 11/12. It
should come through quick.
1. BE PATIENT. We do not like rain as much as you do. We are all in
it together. we will take it as it comes and not do anything until
it rains.
2. We will update the tournament page every hour for updates (CHECK
THE USTA MOBILE APP)
3. Once it stops raining, we will be able to give a time
4. Only God knows when the rain is going to stop. Please do not ask
although its comical.
5. We have lights. Relax, sleep, and conserve energy.
Thank you for all your support,your TD,
Erick
