2020 Comeback Team Challenge

**Register for the PLAYER DRAFT!

At the Laurel Park Tennis Center, Marietta, GA. 

May 15-17, 22-24, 2020

Right now we will start with just these wide open divisions. The early response has been amazing. But we are still not sure what the final count will be so we are combining the 16’s, 14’s, and 12’s together into one big division. If we get a large draft we may then subdivide the divisions.

Boys’ 16 to 12 & Under Team Competition 

Girls’ 16 to 12 & Under Team Competition
