2012 SEASON - VTA TENNIS PROGRAMS FOR MEMBERS
Also see website (www.vernontennis.com ) "Calendar Page" for further details and week to week events.
NOTE TO VTA MEMBERS: The VTA Board wants to avoid having more than 16 players during each session or having players wait to get on a court, therefore two separate sessions are being held on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday - 6:00-7:30 and 7:30-9:00 pm. If you plan on coming one of these evenings, please decide which time you are going to play and arrive for that time. If you play the first session (6:00-7:30) and want to stay for the second session also (7:30-9:00), you may if courts are available, but those who arrive for the second session take precedence.
These programs will be on a trial basis for the month of May, 2012.

SUMMER JUNIOR PROGRAM - JULY AND AUGUST 2012
The Vernon Tennis Association runs a weekly program for junior tennis players (ages 6-17 years) on Wednesday mornings from 9:00-11:00 am. during July and August. This is NOT a Vernon Parks and Recreation Program. The VTA runs this program as a service to the parents and children of Vernon using our own high-level tennis playing VTA volunteers.
" This year the program will begin on Wednesday, July 4th and run through and include Wednesday, August 29th , at Marshall Field tennis courts, Okanagan Landing Road in Vernon - 9 weeks.
" Participants will enjoy some basic tennis instruction, be able to use the ball machine under instructor supervision, play some fun tennis games with children at their own level, and enjoy the healthy outdoor sport of tennis.
" Participants are asked to register the first week of the program, July 4th, by meeting at the court with their fee. A waiver form is required to be completed and signed by a parent or guardian at the time of registration.
" Cost per child: $20 for 9 weeks of tennis fun and instruction! What a bargain!
Participants are asked to come prepared:
o shorts (with pockets preferred for carrying the tennis balls) - wear comfortable clothing
o non-marking soled runners only - no other shoes are acceptable tennis wear
o hat or sun visor - sun block is advisable on most days during July and August
o water bottle and water (water fountain is available at the courts)
o tennis racquet if they have one (some racquets will be available at the court)
Parents' Responsibility:
Children must be on-time and picked up promptly at the end of each session.
