Junior Tennis 2016Hi Everybody:

I’m writing to encourage your child to try tennis this summer. Brian and I and our 

staff have many years of coaching experience and our philosophy is very simple,keep the game fun. The two components is Junior Development and Tennis Team,your child may do one or both. Enclosed is information on Junior Development alongwith classes and levels. Below is background on Tennis Team.

Facts about Tennis Team --

1. If your child can serve andcan rally. We want them on theteam. Your child will improveimmensely through practice and

team play! First step is to jointhe team, second step practiceand third step play. This is allabout the experience.

2. Tennis team practices offer amuch different learningexperience from tennis lessons.Tennis lessons, the focus is oninstruction. Team practice, thefocus is on how to play thegame. The children learn tofollow the rules and keep score.They learn to work with a partner and the importance of playing on a team.

3. Join the team. We will make everyone feel they are part of the team. Frompractices to matches being part of the team is the theme, “All for one, one for all.”One rule will be observed, and that is to try. Effort is key, never about winning or losing, all about trying. The coaches will work with the parents to see what level of participation they would like to see their child at.

4. Tennis team is fun! At practices and during matches, players are matched withother players of similar ability. Kids laugh and learn! Interclub matches are a

culmination of what is learned.5. The practice schedule and match line-ups will be posted well in advance. If youcannot attend all of the tennis matches, that’s okay. Let us know ahead of time.

Our first team practice will be held on Monday, June 13th* after school. Feel free tohave your child come out and try a practice to see what the team is all about. Your child can join the team at any time this summer. The cost is $75.

Call if you have any questions!
