HP/FIRST SERVE WARM-UPS FOR 2007

After picking up the new warm-ups for the tournament team for
the new year (2007) , I remembered the joy of tennis teams with the
same uniform. They may not become the number one player in the state,
nation, or even world, but they look good in this world.

time a year round Tennis Program after school from 4:30 pm until 6:00 pm on
Mondays and Wensdays. There is no charge. Adult classes only by sign-ups. This

Bayview area.

US OPEN 2006

The USTA TEACHERS CONFERENCE and ARTHUR ASHE KIDS DAY over the past week
was indeed a time to gather info and visit friends. I had the oppertunity to have my coach
and mentor with me and that is something I will never forget.

DO NOT FEAR OR WISH FOR YOUR LAST DAY

This statement could not mean more to anyone than to Hunters Point Tennis Program
at Bayview Boys and Girls club. After hearing that the Hunters Point Boys and Girls
Club was closing and that the office of Youth Tennis Advantage had to move out of the
club did not mean the last day of tennis at Hunters Point. For the MCP of the NORCAL
USTA gave a grant to the tennis director (Thomas White) to attend the USTA TEACHERS
CONFERENCE at the US OPEN in NY (note smile). Therefore HP TENNIS will be content
with what we are and perfer nothing to it, and do not fear or wish for our last day.

HUNTERS POINT STAR TO RELOCATE

Hunters Point star junior will be relocating for the school year and will be missed
truly by team mates and coach white. Jamar who finished the 2006 SF parks and recreation
Team Tennis finished with only one lost with the Hunters Point First Servers, a standout at
the Bank of the West junior clinics and the only nine (9) year to play with the eighteen (18) and
under group for the Northern Calaforina Regional Rally held each year at Golden Gate Park here
in San Francisco.

Our future plans are for him to attend Stanford University for his college tennis and continue
to inspire other juniors that with some life skills to follow in his footsteps.

HUNTERS POINT HEAD COACH/LINDA PAULDING

Come and we will tell you of our Head Coach Linda Paulding. While getting prizes and gifts
for juniors that did not get to the Championships at Stanford made sure that these prizes and
gifts were given during the Tennis Jam that YTA promoted. This was indeed a fantastic
gesture that our staff will always put our site members first, for as the event was promoted
to have these things it just was not true.

Linda, again thank you.

HP FLOWERS

We try to keep our flowers growing, I planted them eight years ago so they are

HP MEMBER RETURNS TO PASS ON SKILLS LEARNED

It is indeed a pleasure to have a player that has lived his childhood in Hunters Point Bayview
district of San Francisco to go off to college and return to share his skills and now college
experience with the upcoming juniors. For Coltyce Sanders has indeed returned for summer
break to assist his coach and the site he grew up in. He attends A&T University. Here we
are with his car he purchased to get around for the summer. We are most proud.
