First Ever....    TEAM Tennis
                 Event

 Mayfair Lakeshore Racquet
& Fitness Club
 
February 25th, 2006

What a Great Time for All....

NOW a Regular Event on the 2006 Tour!

On February 25th, at Mayfair Lakeshore, 48 players took part in the Tour's first ever TEAM Tennis Event.

 

Each team had four players: Two Guys and Two Gals.

Matches included one set to 5 games in each of the following categories:

  • Men's Singles,

  • Women's Singles,

  • Men's Doubles,

  • Women's Doubles

  • and Mixed Doubles.

Each game won counted as a point for their team. Winner determined by the highest number of points.

Talking strategy with their team and determining which players played in which category and even the order of the sets ... was key.

 

 

 

Teams loved the on-court coaching and side line cheering...

A very high energy crowd!

Players had to remember the subtle differences in TEAM Tennis like... Playing let serves, No-ad scoring and 5 point tie-breakers at 4-4... just to name a few.

 

 

 

It was great to see the players get into the TEAM Spirit... Wearing matches outfits and coming up with some great Team names like:

"I Am Canadian"
"The Fantastic Four"
"North York Net Heads"
and
"Foghorn, Leghorn and the Amazing Chicken Hawks".... don't ask!

 

 

Thanks to Robbie Husain who led the the HEAD "Skills and Drills" Clinic..

 

 

 

 

Nearly everyone took part... warming up their strokes for the elimination round.

 

The matches were great to watch... lots of cheering and support came from the teams and the crowd!

(What a great shot!)

 

 

 

 

 

Even Future Tour Players watched on...

 

But all good things must come to an end, and did, with a super Finals Match featuring...

"Husain's Big Hitters" consisting of: Rob, Natasha, Steve and Alexandra

taking the win over

"Foghorn, Leghorn and the Amazing, Chicken Hawks" including: Scott, Kelly, Bryan and Marcela

in a great match - 19 points
to 15 points.

Congrats to everyone!

 

 

 

A very special thanks to Jason, Scott and all the Staff at Mayfair Lakeshore....for hosting another fantastic event at your club!

 

 

FYI... Watch for the exciting 2006 Tour Season Schedule
to be announced soon!

 

Cheers,

Scott & Sandra
