Update on SOKY's Interscholastic League: The first week of play was on January 9th, due to bad weather, but after two weeks of doubleheader matches at both the Intermediate and Beginner levels, we are caught up - and are continuing with single matches every Saturday in February at 10:30 at Total Fitness Connection.

As of now, there are 38 kids participating, with most of the intermediate ones being familiar with match play from playing high-school tennis, but many of them haven't played since summer, so this program will give them a head-start on the Springs season. For many of the beginners, this is their first experience with match play, an important goal of the program. This program is also a great way to expose the kids to the Junior Team Tennis format, which should allow them to have some successful league play this summer. SOKY Tennis Association Board has voted to cover the cost for this program so that as many juniors as possible can take advantage of this opportunity.
