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 Zelasko 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 will be held at John Sevier Park Tennis Courts. 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, Wednesday or Thursday early afternoons. Home matches are at our local facilities. 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. Former interclub players and other experienced players will assist Coach Zelasko 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. There are ADDITIONAL charges for optional weekly PRACTICE clinics, but highly encourage practice weeks. 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: 8 & Under Beginner, 10 & Under Beginner, 12 & Under Beginner, 14 & Under Intermediate, 18 & Under Intermediate, 18 & Under Advanced, but those subject to change based on skill level.
