Pre-Provincial Week


Dear players and parents.  The Elite program is now officially over.  While we await for the summer camp to begin in a week's time, I have set up some ladder matches to fill in the gap.  Players should have received a text with their match up by now.  Please contact each other directly to set up a suitable time.  The goal is to complete 2-3 matches with 7 point tie-breaker at 6 all.  Be sure to report the scores to Patricia to update the ladder.  If there are any issues or you need help in anything please reach out to Andrea, Peter, or me.

In addition to the ladder match play, this week will also be a good time to set up some one on one lessons to polish some technical glitches.

And parents, if you have not submitted the summer camp registration form yet please drop it off at the office or take a picture and send it to me this week. By the way, did you know that if you sign up for the entire 10 weeks of summer camp you are only paying for 7 weeks and get 3 weeks for free?  The 3 complimentary weeks are to set off for the Provincials and Nationals in the summer.  So, if you think your household athlete is going to be here for 5 weeks I'd encourage you to sign up for the entire 10 weeks.  It is extremely important your athlete has a familiar training ground where he/she can go in between tournaments to continue their skill development.

Have a wonderful week.  Until next time.
