Development and enhancement of skills in a fun atmosphere will enhance their love of the game!

JUNIOR TOURNAMENTS
A 10 & Under tournament is a great way to introduce kids to the thrill of competition by getting on the court, playing a variety of styles and making new friends. ALL 10 & Under tournaments will be round robin. Competing in 10 & Under tournaments emphasizes cooperation as well as competition; the players are split up into two teams and the format is round robin rather than elimination. Instead of a “winner” at the end, there is a “winning team”. This type of tournament participation will help build their confidence and encourages player development and advancement. ALL Regular ball tournaments will be using regular scoring format.
Saturday Evenings – 6:30-8:30pm. $30.00 entry fee. Please call the club for more information.
