I’ll make this week’s article brief – mainly notification of the Saturday SAT prep class that I hold at ACE Burlington (see map).

With Easter break over, you’re now heading into a crucial part of the school year as you continue to coordinate school and tennis and conclude the school year on a high note I hope. If you can get to ACE in Burlington (see map) on Saturday mornings at 10:45, you are welcome to join the weekly SAT prep class that I hold there. There is no charge for ACE students and you can bring a friend. The spring session starts this Saturday April 14, 10:45am – 12:00pm and meets most Saturdays until the end of the school year. Meet in the lounge. Bring a binder and/or laptop etc. to record new vocabulary. Even if you are able to attend only occasionally, this class will help you greatly to prepare for the SAT. Time flies! Make sure that you make the most of every opportunity!

If you or your parents would like more information, you may e-mail me at helendonohoe@sympatico.ca.

A New Reality By Nicolas Pereira

This past week in the World Team Tennis ‘Bubble” I have seen the efforts to keep everyone safe while carrying on a team competition with around 60/70 players and coaches onsite. Counting organizers, officials, media, and support personnel are around 150 people trying hard to make this happen. I am very impressed by how the strict protocol has been handled and how everyone is invested in making this event a success, but The Open is a completely different scale of details.

ONcourt Interviews NGTL Co-Founder Yves Boulais

It does not matter that you get your rating playing locally or that you had spent an insidious amount of money playing the ITF junior tour tournaments. Your rating is your level of play (you get no bonus for playing more or playing far away). This allows us to break free of the ITF competitive structure potentially saving us time, money, and headache. We see this as a great opportunity to improve the logistic of our sport.
