A few games of tennis could rebuild the ground under your feet.

The “Support Your Courts” tournament will be on September 29 and 30 and will raise funds for repairing the high school tennis courts.

Each year the high school's tennis courts must be patched due to frost heaves. This past spring, the high school teams could not play their home matches on the courts because the cracks were hazardous. Over the summer the courts were patched again, but another winter will create the same result.

To enter the tournament, sign up by Wednesday, Sept. 26 at 9 p.m. at at http://sites.google.com/site/boothbayregiontennistournament.

Divisions include: youth doubles, under age 14, $10); adult male and female doubles or singles, $15; or adult mixed doubles, $15. If you wish to play in more than one category, the cost will be $25.

Make checks out to the “Support Your Courts” Tennis Fund. Even if you wish not to play, we would greatly appreciate your donation.

Due to the Maine Principals' Association rules, high school students who plan to play on teams this year are not eligible to participate in the tournament.

Draws and play times will be ready by Friday, Sept. 28 at 11 a.m. Plan to arrive 30 minutes before your play time.

You will be able to pay when you check in at the courts before playing. All players should bring an unopened can of USTA-approved tennis balls (brands such as Penn or Wilson). You may also purchase balls at the courts.

Prizes will be given to the winners in each category.

We wish to thank Kate and Chip Schwehm, and Danielle ad Brad Betts, for all of the work they have done to make this tournament possible.
