Love Our Banners

Our banners are up and representing again, how cool is that?

What would Arthur Say?

With Azaria not asked to play in the winter for the winter championships and moved from her #4 position because a new ranking system the powers that be or as many call them the "Gate Keepers" decided this rule would be used for the 2013 selection of juniors instead of 2014.  We will stay calm and this year go for the # 1 spot, we know that's what Arthur would do.

Things Are Looking Great At HP

Do you see what I see?

Here is something I'm sure everyone did not know.  That there was a movie with Barry McKay made at Hunters Point.  How cool is that?

Site Up And Running

Happy to report the juniors are busy at it trying to show who is better than who.  As soon as this is out of their system we will began the long journey down that road that is life skills on the court and off.  This is indeed a good rebirth of Hunters Point tennis in the Bay View community of San Francisco.

HP FOREVER

Things are going as planned.

Great first day at HP, we even picked veggies from the garden.  How cool was that.

Rich, the site was Richer with him around.

I do not know if we will be able to get the help of my friend and mentor Rich who help with the site back in the day, but if he returns the site will surly be one that the community of Hunters Point will be proud of.

YTA to reopen Hunters Point Site

I was asked to assist the opening of Hunters Point, keep your fingers crossed.

The Reopening of Hunters Point

Great opportunity for YTA to reopen the Hunters Point site in the Bay View section of San Francisco.  Having worked there for 11 years I was indeed surprised to not be included in anyway the plans for the site.  I did respond when called to cover the site as plans did not go as planned, go figure?

Still growing up

Had the  to ride to work with one of our HP juniors Dayshia.

Rayshone Continues to help with Bear Trax

Ray's hair is still in the wind, but he comes by to see the juniors.

Hunters Point Tyronda Starks

Received news that Tyronda Starks is now teaching in Atlanta, Ga.  While working on her grad work at Strayer Univ. she finds time to put her PTR Certification to instruct 10 and under.  We are so proud and will continue to keep track of her progress.

Its great to hear that another junior is doing in college (Virginia State Univ.) we are keeping our eyes on you.

Shane

Great day today, say Shane a Hunters Point junior who is working as security with the Safeway stores.  It was great seeing a junior for the Bayview area doing well and not in a bad situation in his life.  We talked and gave him my number to always be in contact.

A summer DVD found and will never be forgotten.

Back in the day, we wish everyone Happy Holidays.

When I had to come up with a winning point.

We remember Roberto.

Hunters Point Tyronda Starks returns from college (Clark Atlanta) and takes first offered (PTR) Professional Tennis Registry certification test to work with the 10 and under juniors.  " I will now be in a position to help juniors at the age I was when I started tennis and know they will get the best training that can be offered" Tyronda said.  We all have your back.

When you are waiting for your juniors to finish.

If you have the chance to meet some of these YTA Hunters Point juniors along the way, stop and ask them how they are doing and I'm sure you will be suprised at the answers they give.

It was great seeing one of our YTA members from Hunters Point today out playing tennis and using some of the life skills learned to be apart of the tennis club life. Not only did he have the skills to be on the court with members of the club but was able to instruct and help out with tennis,. How great was that?
