About This Activity
Description
Parks & Rec is offering a summer interclub tennis program for Ages 8-18. Summer Interclub offers opportunities for all levels of kids to play. Even newer players have opportunities as an experienced beginner and can later work towards possibly moving up to intermediate and even advanced levels with daily practice at clinics and weekly matches during the week. Parental input to Coach Corbett is encouraged to maximize each child’s experience and growth. Teams will be organized according to age and ability levels. Players may be able to play on more than one team. Practices and home matches will be held at Springbrook Park Tennis Courts in Alcoa. Away matches will be held in the GKTA area against other participating teams. Matches are generally held one time per week per team on Tuesday/Thursdays early afternoons. The State Tournament weekend is in July, and is a great opportunity for many, if players qualify to participate. There is an additional cost for the state tournament. Maryville College Tennis Staff and Players, as well as current/former interclub players and other experienced players assist Coach Corbett with instruction to maximize individual attention for participants. Interclub registration fee includes GKTA membership fees, a team shirt for matches, balls, league fees, coaching and league administration fees, and an end of season pool party. There are ADDITIONAL charges for optional weekly PRACTICE clinics. All participants must be a USTA member for the year as well by visiting www.usta.com BEFORE match play begins. Anticipated teams are as follows: 10 & Under Beginner, 12 & Under Beginner, 14 & Under Intermediate, 18 & Under Intermediate, 18 & Under Advanced.
