Atlanta is a big city...but these coaches are top-notch! In no particular order, you can't go wrong with these guys: Greg Amerson (Lifetime)-Norcross Torrey Hawkins (Windward)-Alpharetta Jason Parker (Olde Towne Athletic Club)-Marietta Jeff Weaver (ACE Academy)-Norcross

FIVE of the eight top American juniors selected to represent the USA in Europe are HIGH-TECH TENNIS customers! GOOD LUCK TO EVERY SINGLE PLAYER, but most especially these: GIRLS: CC Bellis-CA (since 2011 G12 Hard Courts), Jaeda Daniel-FL (since 2009 FL State Closed 10s), Michaela Gordon-CA...

AMEN. Alohajrtennis is exactly right.

We've watched this series of tournaments as it developed but have been keeping the secret since LAST AUGUST--whew! :) What a relief that now we can speak openly! So SHOUT OUT to our friends at Tennis Recruiting for recognizing a need and for stepping UP on behalf of junior tennis players!! :)...

The problem is (IN MY OPINION) that the ones who need it (enforcement & education) are the last ones to recognize it. So instead of shining a light to bring about positive change, the reaction to this article is sorta like "ho-hum...nothing to see here...let's move on." AND THE BEAT GOES ON. :(

By Michelle Kaufman -- The Miami Herald -- 12/06/12 You think the jerk parents yelling at the ref at your kid’s soccer games are bad? Try hanging around a high-level junior tennis tournament sometime. The Orange Bowl International Championship is going on this week at the Frank Veltri...

Taylor is BEAUTIFUL! Please quit talking bad about her. Your words hurt ME and can you imagine how incredibly hurtful it would be if she ever read them??? Please leave her alone...You're probably just jealous of her but she is one fantastic girl and she deserves all the goodness the world...

Guess I could elaborate on my two cents just a little bit by saying it reminds me of a lecture I heard a few lifetimes ago in college: CHOICES. In life, you will always have the opportunity to make choices---but choosing ONE way means you automatically DON'T choose the other. Only ONE thing can...

Tossing in my two cents: EDUCATION comes first...THE END.

TD Robert Sasseville's closing statement: "While there may be argument over the exact percentages, there is no argument that the operative word for 2014 is REDUCTION."

Unimaginably, the fight goes on (and on) to save junior tennis… Don't know how many of you are following this most recent wave of activity - we've been somewhat silent because it's just too tiresome to fight battles that can't be won. Of course we've got our fingers crossed & we certainly hope...

Raise your hand if you're surprised. :(

This is kinda unbelievable!

http://tennisinsiders.com/?post_type=featured_story&p=1336 ARE YOU SITTING DOWN??? The results are in concerning the mtg with USTA execs in Chicago yesterday...It's a good news/we'll see situation! READ THIS & BE SURE TO EXPRESS YOURSELF BY ADDING TO THE COMMENTS AT THE END. I will notify you...

SOOOO proud of our friend Miss Taylor T!!! She's been invited to participate in the 2012 WTT Smash Hits Event in Pittsburgh, to join TEAM ELTON JOHN, and to team up with one of her idols MARTINA NAVRATILOVA (another LEFTY) to play doubles. WOW O WOW---You GO, Taylor T!!! :-)...

"The reason Europe is developing more pros is simply because our best young athletes are not playing tennis. In Europe tennis is the 2nd or 3rd most popular sport. In the US it is around #10. Basketball and football are getting the superior athletes." This is so absolutely true. The question is...

"The reason American kids fail is the same reason anyone fails, they are not good enough." HARSH BUT TRUE...which is one of the many reasons why eliminating opportunity to compete with and learn from players around this country is such an awful idea!!!

"It meant a lot to me and I felt so important when Martina and Lindsay started following me on Twitter!" ... "Hopefully, I can do the same thing she's (Serena's) doing and prove people wrong, no matter what I look like, and just keep winning!" :) YOU GO, TT!! Lots of ♥ to you always from...

Continued... What does Coach B suggest? a) Ha. Yeah, go back to the Preamble c) above and do what Jack Sharpe suggested. Good back to 1987 before the system got ruined. b) Simple: For each age group from 12-18s, four USTA nationals with 128 draws. c) Keep all the great Redwood Junior...

He's BAAAAACK!!! :) Once again, Wayne Bryan's using his big, loud voice to speak UP & OUT on behalf of junior tennis players!!! Love him or don't (we definitely DO), the WB knows EXACTLY what's happening in the trenches with jr tennis (we know cuz we're there too) .. Why no one is listening to...

SHOUT-OUT to you, Soianka---You clearly GET what I've been tryiing to say. Thank you for your support!!

I shared information about the recent success of the world's #1 junior girl. I also shared the subsequent comments made by PMAC. And I implied there's a certain irony compared with his heartless, insensitive comments from the past month. I didn't realize I was starting a "cheerleading session"...

Oh for pete's sake, man. Would you please be serious? Comments such as yours turn this forum into such a waste of time.

So good to see that so many of you GET IT: Taylor is a CHILD who happens to be the #1 junior girl in the world! To have been treated that way (with comments about her "FITNESS" from none other than PMAC, which were correctly picked up and plastered on headlines of newspapers and TV shows across...

We're watching these kids grow up right before our eyes... I like what you wrote. Just tossing out a few phrases that sum it up for me: Tennis is a GAME, not brain surgery & junior players are CHILDREN, not mini-professionals. Junior tennis is a JOURNEY, not a destination...You might as...

FIT Enough to WIN JR Fed Cup too! Maybe she's FIT enough to win both Davis AND Fed Cup, lol...

I don't know why I cant post an image here but look here and here link for PROOF that our girl is FIT enough to WIN!!! Great job, Miss Taylor Townsend, of staying focused, not letting any of the CRAP get you down, and doing your thing! Sooooo proud of this child - and not willing to let anyone...

Our girl TAYLOR T just puts her head down and does her thing...Hope the USTA thinks she's FIT ENOUGH to compete????? Speaking for myself only, I am still OUTRAGED at the way they treated this World #1 Girl! How embarrassing and how heartless. Still cannot believe that happened - and it was...

Raise your hand if you're surprised...

We've been too busy to even think about the fact that this whole issue is being revisited...and I'm certainly in favor of anything extra consideration of what I thought was a "done deal" (since I read that Lew Brewer used those exact words, if I recall)...but do I think we're gonna get a "oh...
