Hello and welcome back for one more week of the 2015 academy season.

With the holidays fast approaching and Christmas break being at the forefront of everyone's minds, its easy to lose a little focus and energy on court this week. So to help with this we will be setting up a week long challenge for all the players.
Throughout the week we will be doing challenges of all kinds, playing games, sets and matches. the twist, is everything that we do this week will have a worth to it. there will be points to win at every challenge and they will be accumulated throughout the whole week. totalled at the end and a prize awarded to the winners.....before you ask, no, not a new car, but something fun I'm sure.....

For those players getting ready for the open tournament season we will have an extra emphasis on point play and point structure using the serve and return. For those still in training mode for the new year there will be los of drills and physical challenges to help get you there.

Also, if your look for a little extra tennis during the break, we will be running a 3 days tennis camp on December 21, 22 and 23. please speak with me (Mike) if your have questions about it and we can set that up....

Lets have a great week leading up to the break, make sure we stay on task, focused and continue working hard!

P.S. for those players looking to get into the tournament stream in the new year and wondering how or what, please feel free to ask the coaches for help in understanding how the O.T.A. works, what to look for and what and how to enter. It would be great to see everyone at the events applying all of the hard work you have put into this year so far....

Merry Christmas,
Tour Coaching Staff.
