WHEN
IS IT? The youth Grand Prix is normally offered once or twice
per week, throughout the year. For the winter season, it is offered Sundays,
3 - 5 PM. In the warmer months, it is offered Sundays, 6 - 8 PM. Saturday
times are also added from time to time. Always arrive ten minutes early
to warm up, as match assignments are made promptly at the start time.
WHO
IS IT FOR? The
tournament is open to youth players, male or female, of all levels, who
can serve and keep score. The group typically includes experienced high
school players as well as newer and younger players. Russ assigns players
to matches, which ensures close matches for everyone. Adults sometimes
fill in to ensure we have the right number of players. Members have the
first priority for this event, but nonmembers are welcome space permitting.
It is usually the presence of some nonmembers that ensures we have enough
players at the different levels.
