HVTC professionals have designed two intensive spring training camps. Both camps will prepare boys and girls in all age divisions for the SEMTA District Qualifier Tournament. Although the boys’ and girls’ tournaments are on separate weekends, pros encourage both boys and girls to enroll in the first camp, and all girls should register at least for the second week of the camp. Boys desiring extra training are also welcome to participate in the second week of the qualifier camp.

The adult USTA summer league signup has started, and many of the teams are already full. If you are still interested in joining a team, please contact the front desk as soon as possible. Anne Snell, the USTA coordinator for HVTC, will try to place you on the proper team. Matches start in mid-May.

Nine members of the Huron Valley 65+ 8.0 team accepted a wildcard invitation to participate in the National 65+ 8.0 Invitational in Surprise, Arizona, in March. Team representatives were: Ann Munro, Deb Crosby, Ann Holz, Karen Caine, Janet Remen, Kathy Green, Leslie McGowan, Sheri Hays, and Judy Silverman. Rosie Wright, Marie Fletcher, and Helen Peters were unable to attend.

The team beat a Washington, D.C., team representing the Mideast conference 2-1 to win their opening match. In the next three matches they lost to Hawaii, Texas, and Minnesota (Northern) but played good competitive matches in the 90-degree heat with not a cloud in the sky.
