My hat is off to the fourteen athletes who came and worked out this morning!
Just a reminder to you as you continue to participate in the MMHS TENNIS CLUB that your co-athlete and President, Jake Guyman, is running this fun! All who want to participate can and attendance is not mandatory in order to play on the MMHS TENNIS TEAM in the Spring.
VISIT USTA.COM
The next USTA Tourney is the Liberty Park Junior Fall Championships Sept 12-19th.
The deadline for entry is Wednesday the 2nd. This is one of two remaining tournaments this year with a challenger bracket. Blaine Blonquist will be going and says he will most likely win! His father, Steve Blonquist,is the CONTACT POINT for more information. Steve will also for sure be going to St. George for the Duel in the Desert the following week on the 24th.
Remember that deadline for BYU Open is midnight tonight! Deadline for the Duel in the Desert in St. George, is Sept 14th.
IN ORDER TO PLAY you must join the USTA if you have not already. Anyone who has housing in St. George let Steve know email address: steve@smartlaw.com

Letter from Coach Brad Pearce (BYU TENNIS)
Dear Coach,
I wanted to let you know that entries close tomorrow for the Utah Fall Tennis Classic at BYU.
http://tennislink.usta.com/Tournaments/TournamentHome/Tournament.aspx?T=77814
I will accept late entries for collegiate players, provided they have a current USTA # and pay in cash prior to their first match.
Please contact me or my assistant if you are coming with your team and would like to pay in-person prior to their first match.
Please contact me on my cell: 801 362-3108, or my assistant, Zack Warren, (415) 328-7964, if you will not meet the deadline, and players on your team are planning on playing.
Since this is a USTA sanctioned tournament, players without current USTA #’s will not be able to play. The last day that entries will be accepted for collegiate players is Tuesday, September 8th at Noon.
All others must meet the deadline on the website, which is tomorrow, Tuesday, the 1st of September, before midnight.

"Tennis Players in the Weight Room?"
"Tennis Players in the Weight Room?" Wondered the wrestling coach...
That may seem strange, but not for champion tennis players like ours! Awesome participation happened with fourteen of our best athletes diligently conditioning throughout this past week as we planned for USTA Tournament Schedules and organized the first ever Maple Mountain Men's Tennis Club.
Next week excitement for our MMHS Tennis Club is footwork conditioning at MMHS Wt room M,T,TH,Fr (4 days) 6:30 - 7:15 AM. You are welcome to come participate any or all days.
On this page, please subscribe to the blog to ensure you are emailed all announcements for both the Club and the Team and Camps.
Also please take a look at the "Volunteer Staff" article for parents below in this blog and determine which position you would like to fill--"No parent left behind"...thanks
Best wishes

New MMHS Men's Tennis Club President--Jake Guyman
I am pleased to announce MMHS First Ever and newly appointed MMHS Men's Tennis Club President. Jake Guyman has willing accepted the multitude of responsibilites as shown below and I am certain he would love to hear from you on where you can and will volunteer to help!
Email Jake at tryppnnitro@live.com
As President of the Men's Tennis Club I see that your responsibilities might include:
1) Ensure all who want to play tennis this year 9th - 12th grades are invited and feel welcome to join and participate between now and 1 March (Season start)
2) Establish rules of personal integrity (maybe Sat morning we could watch "Forever Strong" in the Team room or at my house)
3) Organize a committee that can: Plan and execute a monthly Tennis Night with professional motivational speaker, (I have several folks we can invite--even possibly Jim Fannin who has coached the top 10 players in the world!) Larry Hall (BYU's former coach--Dave Boyack's friend) etc.
4) Ensure everyone has schedule of USTA tournaments and is aware of all tournament opportunities.
5) Take initiative to ensure that the Tennis Club is the most efficient and fun organization at MMHS!
Whew! Do you think Jake still wants to do it? I have informed Jake that he can pick and choose from the above and delegate any or all tasks to a VP or Committee chair person; by vote or appointment.
The reason I invited Jake to take this on is not only because he is a Senior who will be outstanding on the team this year, but also and most importantly because the boys and I all respect him. Jake Guyman is an outstanding natural leader--he proved that through the MMHS Summer Tennis Camps. He will take this Club to great heights and tons of fun!
Thank you, Jake, for accepting this responsibility,
Please email Jake right away on how you would like to join in and help (both parents and players and spectators welcome!)
With sincere appreciation,
Coach Whiting
