On Sunday 68 players from across our Northwest region braved the icy conditions to play another round of the Junior Development Series. The Peter Cole Tennis Academy had over 25 players in the tournament making up over 1/3rd of the field. Peter was very pleased with the results and the way all the players conducted themselves in what was for some their very first tournament. In the very short time some of these players have been with the academy they have demonstrated their willingness to achieve their goals, and with only a few more rounds left of the JDS we already have players in the top 8 of their age divisions.
