    CoachV, Happy New Year from the west coast, me to you. I was wondering if you have any videos of kids you coach that I can share with students in my Youth Tennis League classes. I see the one you have posted of Gabby Price who is a gifted standout. I'm looking for videos with average kids to help inspire my students. Thanks! Coach Dudley

    Basically the way the advanced search works is that if they wrote the word "Bronx" on their page, they will come up in the results.  the ones that list Bronx as their city I think come up first, then the others.  M
