Chelsea "Make A Wish" tournament is back (with an adult division).

The tournament will run on August 3rd, 4th, and 5th at the Chelsea courts. We have 8 at the high school, and 8 at the middle school for a total of 16. There is a two match guarantee for all players, and 100% of all money brought in will be sent directly to the Make a Wish Foundation. Although this will be a competitive tournament, there will be no USTA points or rankings involved. In addition to the tournament, there will be concessions and a silent auction, with all proceeds going straight to the Make a Wish Foundation as well.

What I am asking of you is the following:
If you are a tennis coach, either send this to your players or send me an email with everyone's address and I will happily send out the flyers.
If you are an Adult tennis player/coach/captain, do the same.
If you are interested in playing, fill out the attached flyer and send it back. I would love to get some early entries!
If you are a tennis teaching pro, and would be interested in donating a lesson for the silent auction, please let me know.
