At the end of July, the tenth Annual National Court Tennis Junior Academy, funded by the USCTPF Player Development Fund, occurred at Westwood Country Club. The week was an excellent opportunity for the juniors to learn and improve technique, strategy, and match play while they could also meet new friends and faces with a similar passion for court tennis. The academy was proceeded by the U17 and U19 singles championships (reported separately) and followed by the U11, U13 and U15 singles events (results from which will be reported next month).
