Tennis tourney measures skill
The
second annual High School Pre-Season Compass Draw Challenge
will be held at Western Washington University September
1 and 2. This regional junior tennis tournament is an excellent
opportunity for both JV and Varsity players and their coaches
to see how they stack up against other high school players
in the area.
Though the tournament will have mens and womens
events, it is particularly timely for the boys as their
competitive school season begins in the fall. The unique
compass draw format is also ideal in that players are never
eliminated in early rounds, but continue on to play others
of their own skill level.
The tournament is organized by Eric Cramer, head tennis
professional at Semiahmoo Golf and Country Club. Cramer
is a USPTA certified tennis pro with five years of teaching
experience who has taught many of the junior high and high
school players from Blaine, Lynden, Ferndale and Bellingham.
Entry forms for the tournament may be picked up at Semiahmoo
Golf and Country Club tennis courts or may be called in
to the Cramer at 650-9139 by August 29. .
