Parents,
It was good to see so many of you at our first match last Friday at Hidden Palms. I was proud of the way our teams competed and happy with their respectful behavior. Hidden Palms management told me that they were impressed with the way our kids behaved. That is always good to hear.
There is no practice tomorrow, Monday, April 9th. The rest of the week will go as usual. Practice on Tues and Thurs for the Manta Ray team, Practice on Weds for the Electric Rays team, then a match on Friday for both teams, at the Vero Beach Tennis Club, located at Timber Ridge, on Oslo Road in South Vero Beach. The Manta Rays will be playing against Oslo MS and the Electric Rays will be playing against St. Helen's. Those teams are not as big as our teams, so we may end up playing some practice matches against each other again or against both of the other teams, so that we get more match experience.
To get to the VBTC at Timber Ridge (from SGMS), head south on 58th, all the way to Oslo Road (9th St. SW). Turn left on Oslo Road, then head east about 5 miles. Drive past the traffic lights at 43rd, 27th, 20th and then look for the church on the left, about a mile east of 20th. It is called Morning Star Church. There will be a sign saying Timber Ridge. Turn left there and follow the road slowly until you reach the Vero Beach Tennis Club on the right.
OK, one last item. The Mardy Fish Children's Foundation, which sponsors our tennis program, has a professional tournament this month. It is called the Mardy Fish Children’s Foundation Tennis Championships. They need "Ball Kids" to work some of the matches. It is a great way to watch professional tennis up close and in person! If your child is interested in being a "ball kid" they may sign up at this link: https://campscui.active.com/orgs/MardyFishChildrensFoundation. I encourage our players to be a "ball kid" but they would have to sign up quickly (like today) because training is tomorrow night, April 9th, at Grand Harbor Tennis Club from 5pm to 6pm.
As always, thank you for your support!
Coach Mike
