April 1st, 2023
On Saturday, April 1st, 46 kids ages 6-14 got active by taking part in the EJTS Spring Tennis Cup! EJTS coaches introduced the kids to tennis match play over the course of the one-hour tournament. The coaches went over the rules, ensuring that all kids could enjoy their time at the EJTS Spring Tennis Cup, regardless of tournament experience. Prizes were awarded thanks to our Wilson sponsor for the winners and those showing outstanding sportsmanship.
The EJTS Cup is a non-elimination tournament that offers
recreational players a fun-filled and exciting event with
multiple opportunities to play. Each player is guaranteed
a minimum of three matches in a friendly environment,
where participants can develop their tennis and sportsmanship
skills while competing in a safe environment. After all, the
focus of the EJTS cup is having fun!
EJTS Coach, Katarina Grumic, had this to say about the tournament:
“Events like the Spring Cup are a wonderful opportunity for youth to
experience bits and pieces of competing in a safe and welcoming environment. Having participated in competitive events
when I was younger, such opportunities to ease into competition weren’t as readily available. Making the transition to competitive play without these stepping stones, diminished many elements of enjoyment. It is also
a treat as a coach to see kids implementing the skills
they learn in our programs. Most importantly, I love to see the endless smiles and laughter as they participate in this wonderful sport.”
