IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ - TOURNAMENT ONLY POSTPONED - EXPLANATION
As some of you may know, I teach at Vandebilt Catholic as well as teach tennis at Ellendale Country Club. Most of you have heard about our horrible tragedy that took the lives of 4 of our students last weekend. These were KIDS that I taught and coached so this week has been very personal for me.
After attending funrerals and wakes all week, not to mention trying to help my students understand how God allows something like this to happen ,I did not feel that our tennis community nor myself to be honest was ready to play in or run a tournament next weekend.
To all of you that were planning on playing, I do apologize for any inconvenience because I know how valuable your weekend time is. For those of you that have have played in any of the tournaments that I have run in LA over the past 20 years, you know that I put alot of effort into my events to make sure that everyone has a good time.
I hope that you give me and my tournament staff the opportunity to entertain you for our tentative re-schedule date of November 27-28.
I thank you for understanding my position as someone who loves working with kids and loves the game of tennis.
To parents reading this, please hug your kids every day and tell them that you love them. Players, one day you'll understand why we parents love our kids so much.
*** PLEASE CHECK FOR AN UPDATE NEXT WEEK WITH THE NEW TOURNAMENT DATES******
To TJ, Megan, Ian and Gabby, I miss you all very much!!
