Upcoming Special Tennis Events
2010 Lakes and Mountains Summer Jr. Team Tennis League to start soon!
The Mt. Washington Valley Community Tennis Association (MWVCTA) has been working with the United States Tennis Association (USTA) to develop more tennis programs in our area. Last year we had a 7-week tennis program called Quick Start Tennis and had a great response. On April 10th Cranmore Family Fitness will be hosting an informational open house for parents and interested volunteers on Saturday, April 10th from 10:00 until noon to find out how you can help the league get started and to register players.
This league will include teams from Holderness, Wolfeboro, Moultonborough, Ossipee and Conway. Teams are co-ed and will be divided into 3 divisions: 8 & under, 10 & under, and 12 & under. If there is interest in having older age categories, such as 14 & under or 16 & under, we will include teams for those ages, too. A minimum of 6 players is needed per team. You need not have any experience to join the league, just an interest in tennis and a willingness to be part of a team! If you’ve already played tennis in school or in last summer’s program, you’re well on your way to being a star!
- Players will play multiple matches each math day to reduce the amount of travel needed. Each team will play at least 6 matches.
- Season-ending Family Tennis Carnival August 10th with all kinds of tennis-related activities and games for the whole family.
