USTA Texas Section Super Championship Excellence (SCMZ 12_18)

Players By Event

Many thanks to all of you players, coaches, and parents for a wonderful USTA Super Championship Excellence tournament. We aim to run the best tournament in Texas so don't hesitate to email sallys@canyoncreektennis.com with any comments or suggestions--that's the email for Tournament Director Sally Frame. We'd like to congratulate our Boy Sportsmanship winner Austin McCasin from Grapevine and our Girl Sportsmanship winner Peggy Porter! We'll have some photos on our Canyon Creek website www.canyoncreektennis.com--just give us a couple of days to get them online.

If you are in need of a trainer, we will have one available at Canyon Creek Saturday from 10-5, Sunday from noon-6, and Monday from 7:30-3:00 PM. This service is complimentary for players. To locate the trainer, go to the tournament desk. The trainers name is Jimmy Hutson and he will be located in the tennis patio by Court 5.

We have a fabulous tournament rate at two hotels that are within 3 miles of Canyon Creek Country Club. Enjoy a $79 room rate at the Courtyard by Marriott--and that rate also includes two free hot cooked breakfasts! You can also stay at the Residence Inn (which is right next door to the Courtyard) for $89 per night. It's a great deal and we encourage you to support our official touranment hotels! more info

There are tons of practice courts in the immediate area for you to use. We'd recomment The University of Texas at Dallas, Pearce High School, and two courts in a neat little park. There are two great courts in a little park opposite a Tom Thumb and Starbuck's at the intersection of Renner and Custer. That's about 1 mile from Canyon Creek. The University of Texas at Dallas (UTD) has 8 courts and is located about half a mile from Canyon Creek Country Club at 800 West Campbell Road, Richardson, TX 75080. The easiest way to get to the courts is to enter the UTD campus at the intersection of Floyd and Lookout. Turn left into the first parking lot and follow the outside curve of the parking lot to your left. At the intersection of Armstrong and Road A turn right onto Road A and the courts will be on the right. Watch where you park to avoid getting a ticket. Park only in the Gold or Green marked parking slots. DO NOT PARK on the campus streets where there is no marked parking slot or you will receive a parking ticket. You are not required to put money in the parking meters on the weekends. There are also 8 nice practice courts at Pearce High School which is located at 1600 North Coit Road, Richardson, TX 75080. Those of you playing at Richardson High School have two courts within walking distance of your site in Cottonwood Park.

The Boys' 18, Girls' 18, and Girls' 16 divisions will be playing at Richardson High School. Map and directions are available via the attached link. We know that you have played tennis at High School courts that have been, well, pretty basic. But we think you are going to love the Richardson High School site! The tennis center is located at 1250 West Belt Line Road just east of the intersection of Coit and Belt Line. You will find parking and the courts on the south side of the street opposite the main school building. We love this site because it has 9 beautiful new outdoor courts, built in bathrooms, and easy access to shopping and restaurants. There is a Whole Foods, Starbucks, supermarket, and all kinds of restaurants within walking distance of the courts (at the intersection of Coit and Belt Line). We will have ice and water available and we'll also be selling bottled waters 2/$1 and Gatorades for $1 for your convenience. Your nearest warm-up courts will be at Cottonwood Park--in the park next to the courts, or at Pearce High School which is a straight shot North up Coit--two intersections away from RHS. more info

We'll be using 16 lighted courts at Canyon Creek Country Club--located at 625 Lookout Drive, Richardson, TX 7508. The Girls' 14 and 12's and the Boys' 16, 14, and 12's will be playing at Canyon Creek. Full food and beverage service is available in the clubhouse and the restaurant is open to the public. There is a full service tennis shop and we will have a stringer available all day. If you would like to take a shower in the locker room, please bring your own towel. Maps and Directions are available via the Link attached. more info

Our pick for shopping, dining, and the movies would be Northpark Center. It's located at 8687 N. Central Expressway, Dallas, TX--just exit at Northwest Highway and it's on the west side of the highway. Their website is www.northparkcenter.com--check it out! It's approximately 10 miles from Canyon Creek Country Club--and well worth a visit. The attached link provides map and directions. more info
