<p style="text-align: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-left: 10px;"><b>If you play just one tournament this year...<a href="http://www.trivalleydoubleschampionships.com">www.trivalleydoubleschampionships.com</a></b></p>
<p style="text-align: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-left: 10px;">This is your invitation to play in the Bay Area's largest and best doubles tournament. What started as a club mixer 6 years ago to help a local animal shelter in distress has now become a must play event for all bay area tennis players. Held yearly over Labor Day Weekend, the tournament is hosted by Ruby Hill Golf Club, Livermore Valley Tennis Club and Castlewood Country Club in the beautiful Tri Valley Wine Valley. Invite a friend or family member and come play a tournament unlike any other while helping out local no kill shelters at the same time.</p>
<p style="text-align: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-left: 10px;"><b>Tournament Entry</b></p>
<p style="text-align: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-left: 10px;">Entries are now open for this year's event. Cost is an $80 donation per player per event. Players may enter two events with one being a men's or women's event and one being a mixed. You may register on this website. Included in the entry fee is a New Balance shirt for participants and a nice player bag. Women will receive a matching skirt if playing a second event, while men will receive a second but different shirt. There will be food, wine, beer and drinks all weekend, so plan on coming out, hanging out and enjoying a great weekend with family and friends. Players are guaranteed two matches in each division. All entries go to 501c3 charities, so your entry fee should be tax deductible. Entries will be taken until August 27th but go up to $90 a player after August 15th</p>
<p style="text-align: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-left: 10px;"><b>Schedule</b></p>
<p style="text-align: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-left: 10px;">The tournament is over Labor Day weekend September 5th, 6th and 7th. Tournament draws will be published online by September 1st. Unless round robins, all tournament draws will be regular draws with back draw's for first round loser's. While we cannot guarantee it, if you have a scheduling conflict over the weekend, we will do our best to work around it. We want everyone to be able to play.</p>
<p style="text-align: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-left: 10px;"><b>Venues</b></p>
<p style="text-align: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-left: 10px;">Livermore Valley Tennis Club will be the hub of tournament on Saturday and Sunday, with Ruby Hill being the hub on Monday. Matches will be played at all three sites. Please check the draw for the site of your particular match or matches. While you may go directly to venue you are playing at, you will need to check in at Livermore on Saturday to get your shirts, hat and swag bag/</p>
<p style="text-align: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-left: 10px;"><b>Juniors</b></p>
<p style="text-align: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-left: 10px;">As we are trying to encourage family participation, we allow juniors to play in the adult divisions. If you are not sure where they belong, touch bases with us and we will help find the appropriate division for them.</p>
<p style="text-align: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-left: 10px;"><b>Friends, Spectators and Family</b></p>
<p style="text-align: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-left: 10px;">Friends, spectators and family are welcome to come watch and join the fun. Daily drink and food bands can be purchased for $10.</p>
<p style="text-align: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-left: 10px;"><b>Auction</b></p>
<p style="text-align: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-left: 10px;">There will be silent auctions items ranging from golf, to stays at great venues to tennis clothes. There is a link on the website for up to date list of the items that will be auctioned off.</p>
<p style="text-align: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-left: 10px;"><b>Pets</b></p>
<p style="text-align: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-left: 10px;">Livermore Valley does not allow pets, however on Day 3 at Ruby Hill feel free to bring them. Just make sure they are on a leash.</p>
<p style="text-align: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-left: 10px;"><b>Volunteers</b></p>
<p style="text-align: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-left: 10px;">We are always looking for volunteers to work the tournament. If you would like to help, please contact Kevin at rubytennis2@yahoo.com. If you would like to be a sponsor or know anyone who would, that is a huge help also. The biggest way to help is to help spread the word. Tell all your friends, like us on Facebook, and get everyone you know to come and play.</p>

<p>Hi Folks,<br></br><br></br>I am running a special on private lessons from 9am -2pm Monday-Friday. This is great for stay at home moms, or anyone with a flexible schedule. It's $15 off the normal rate of $60, so now just $45/hr from now until all spaces are full. I am one of the very best professionals within 15 miles, and you will improve rapidly. Win more matches in USTA, or simply rally the ball much better to enjoy the joy of Tennis.…<br></br><br></br></p>

<p>Hi, I'm just going to put this out there. Are you a Christian tennis player in the Bay Area? I'd love to find other fellow believers to enjoy the game with and maybe we can encourage each other! (I definitely could use some encouraging at the moment, as I'm off the court for many months following a pretty major knee surgery).</p>
<div>There is actually a Christian Hitters Tennisopolis group but please feel free to drop me a line!</div>
