On the last Thursday of each 10 n Under session we will be holding a tournament.  The tournament will be timed matches, round robin, or double elimination. Team Orange players (Advance) are required to serve.  We believe that playing tournaments is what makes tennis fun, it allows the players to use what they were taught during the six weeks. The end of session tennis tournament will allow your kids to show off their skills..

Description:

Players will be divided into three groups: Level 1 (Beginner), Level 2 (Intermediate), and Team Orange (Advanced).
