Are you ready for spooktacular tennis? Martin “Count Dracula” Topliss hosts this annual extravaganza for juniors, featuring music, prizes, tennis games, and pizza (watch out for a spider on your pizza). Prizes are awarded for the best costumes, so dig in the attic for creative outfits and come join us for a night of surprises on Friday, October 25, 7–9 pm. The cost is $18 per junior player. Please sign up at the desk.

The next session of Junior Excellence starts October 28. If you anticipate absences from the Junior Excellence classes, fees may be prorated if you ask at the desk for a blue Request to Prorate form and submit it during the first week of the session. Simply telling the desk personnel or the pros that a student will not attend will not trigger prorated fees. For those absences that were not declared and prorated, we have a Junior Excellence makeup day (no additional charge) scheduled for 4:30–6 pm Monday, November 25, and Monday, December 16.
