Greetings Coaches! I’d like to invite you to this year’s Junior Team Invitational event, held in Indianapolis, IN, July 15th through 17th, 2011! Matches will be held in the Zionsville/Carmel area at nearby schools and tennis facilities. Our competition always includes teams from Indianapolis, St. Louis, Chicago, and Columbus and we hope to add several other cities to the competition this year. We can have more than one team from a city.

Please reserve a spot for your city in this event today by contacting Megan Brimmer by April 15, 2011. Team rosters and entry fees will not be due until you arrive but it is encouraged that you get your roster to us as soon as possible so that we can help you reserve the correct number of hotel rooms. Please feel free to contact us with any questions. We look forward to continuing this great tennis event in Indianapolis and to building on the previous success of this
tournament.

Regards,
