Hello everyone and welcome back!!
I hope everyone had a great Christmas break and a wonderful New Years celebration.

Over the break some of you took time off to relax and recharge and someone you continued the daily grind. To this that where away from the courts we had a few exciting performances by some of our players. Congrats to all that played in the open series events as well as the Junior Circuit tournaments.

With the break now over and the new season in full swing it's time to get out game faces on. We will be splitting the court time this week in two parts.  Some players new to get back to hitting and getting their timing, feel and footwork back in check, while others need to play lots of points to get ready for the upcoming tournaments. We will be having a more per player focused practice week this week in order to accommodate both of those needs.

Group 1 will be going throw a lot of volume hitting, feeding and footwork oriented hitting. With the emphasis being on contact, balance and set up. While group 2 will be more focused on point play, set play and match strategy to get ready for the upcoming series of events starting with this weekend.

For the new year we will shifting gears for a little bit in the month of January and getting back to hard work, fast paced tempo chasing the ball type drilling, and trying to get our cardio to catch up to the level of tennis that we will be looking at playing come provincials. Therefore the month of February will be more point play oriented to be in the best situation for the March provincial season.

I hope that all players have their tournament plans lined up. If not and you need help setting it up please sit down and speak with your coaches, if you do not have a person coach yet please speak with one of the tour coaches to help you.  Sometimes it's not how hard you work, but rather how smart you work. Have a plan and a goal and therefor you have a purpose to each day.

Also, there is a small group of players headed to Florida this week to try their hand at a futures event, best of luck to them!

Let bring our best effort starting from day one of the new year!
