My name is Hannah Karp. I'm in 10th grade and I play on the Varsity team at West Ottawa. I started playing tennis about a year ago. I want to play in USTA tournaments, but I don't want to do it by myself. I'm making this site so that we can get people to all play together. Here's my goals:
1. To get a huge group of players who want to do tournaments together.
2. To pick certain tournaments that we will all try to play in together.
3. To find ways to make it really fun...party tent, food, hang out afterwards, etc.
4. Get better at tennis.
We need to start somewhere, so here's what I want you to do...If you're interested in playing in some of the USTA tournaments this summer, leave a comment on this post, stating your name and that you are interested. I'll add you to our growing list. Also, try to think of some ideas of what you would think would make the tournaments more fun.
This is the list of who is interested in playing in some USTA tournaments so far:
