THE ANNUAL ROANOKE VALLEY INVITATIONAL TENNIS TOURNAMENT..WILL BE FILLED WITH ITS SHARE OF BIG HITTERS.
THREE OF THE TOP FOUR OPEN MEN’S SEEDS ARE VIRGINIA TECH PLAYERS.
BUT FRIDAY THEY TOOK A BREAK FROM THE BIG HITTERS, FOR SOME LITTLE MEN AND WOMEN WITH BIG DREAMS AND PERHAPS..WITH BIG FUTURES.
TODAY WAS THE FIRST USTA “QUICK START” PROGRAM AND TOURNAMENT HELD IN VIRGINIA AND IT HAPPENED ON THE CAMPUS OF HOLLINS IN ROANOKE.
THE PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO BRING KIDS INTO THE GAME BY TAILORING IT TO AGE AND SIZE.
THE AGE GROUPS ARE 8 AND UNDER..AND 10 AND UNDER—AND THEY WERE MAKING PLENTY OF “RACKET”.
THIS IS A TECHNIQUE USED IN SEVERAL EUROPEAN COUNTRIES AND RUSSIA TO INTRODUCE TENNIS AT AN EARLY AGE, AND IF YOU’VE LOOKED AT ANY OF THE MAJOR DRAWS LATELY..IT KEEPS THEM PLAYING—AND PLAYING WELL..ALL THE WAY TO THE PRO RANKS. THE RVITT CONTINUES SATURDAY AND SUNDAY ON THE CAMPUS OF HOLLINS UNIVERSITY.
