Lakes Region Junior Tennis

Today Granite State Kids, a not for profit Community Tennis Association under the USTA, announced the formation of both a 14 and Under Junior Tennis Team and am 18 and under Junior Tennis Team. Both of these teams will be targeting intermediate and advanced players. For a player to be considered intermediate they must be able to get 5 out of 10 serves in, know how to keep score and hit 3 out of 4 balls back into play when the balls are directed to them.

Coaching the teams will be Barbara Aichinger. Barbara is on the USTA New Hampshire board and long time USTA Adult league player. Coach Aichinger is currently seeking an assistant coach.

“Granite State Kids has a great program in the southern part of New Hampshire with teams from the Seacoast, Sunapee and Manchester Areas” stated Barbara Aichinger. “We would like to see more teams from the Lakes Region join in the fun”. Practices will be once a week in the Gilford area and matches will be on Thursdays in either Manchester or Bedford. Matches will be double headers so kids get ample opportunity to play. The format of the team is five positions. Boys and Girls Singles, Boys and Girls Doubles and Mixed Doubles. The season runs from the weeks of June 25h to August 9th 2010. Winning teams can advance to the State Championships, New England Championships and even the National Championships. In 2011 the Lakes Region 18U team took the states runner up title.

Registration forms can be found at www.GraniteStateKids.com. The cost is $165.00 per player and includes USTA Membership, team shirt, weekly coached practices, weekly match play, and balls. Interested players and their parents should contact the coaches at TennisNH@comcast.net or call 548-5037.
