Berlyn receives new racquets for college

Today was a special day seeing Berlyn return to the site to receive
racquets for her to play on her college team. I do remember when some of
her friends did not want her to play,I guess she proved them wrong (smile).

We will always be here for you Berlyn.

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.

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.
