2015 USPTA Junior Gran Prix Championships |
||
The Gran Prix Championship will be held on September 18-20, 2015 at Newk’s in New Braunfels, Texas. This a fun and exciting weekend that provides very competitive tennis and a great experience for all who participate. The Kingwood Team will consist of 2 players from each of the following divisions: Boys QS10 (green ball), 12 (3 players), 14, 16, 18 and Girls QS10 (green dot), 10, 12 (3 players), 14, 16. The two finalists are invited to these championships. If either of these two finalists can’t go, then one of the two semifinalists may fill their spot. If the semi-finalists can’t go, then the quarter-finalist are invited, and so on. We continue through the quarterfinals and/or consolation rounds until we have two players signed up and paid to attend the Gran Prix Championships. Entry for the entire team is due by August 20, therefore, players will be required to enter and pay for the event to confirm their position on the team. The Kingwood Team will stay at Newk's Ranch. All arrangements for the players will be made by Kingwood Team Coordinator. The entry fee is a package at $180 which includes 2 room nights, 6 meals for the weekend, and the tournament entry fee. It is a package price for all players who participate. Transportation is also available for those who would like a ride down and back with the coach. If you are traveling on your own, please plan on arriving Friday afternoon. We will have a team meeting at 7:00 p.m. Friday evening in the Main Lodge at Newk's to discuss the schedule of play, karaoke, hand out t-shirts, awards, room assignments, etc. It is a team event so, DO NOT CHECK IN AT THE TOURNAMENT DESK. You will get all the information, schedule, t-shirts, meal tickets, etc. from the Kingwood Team Coach at our meeting. The following waiver must be signed and turned in to the
Kingwood coordinator asap.
