The organizing committee has decided that in 2008 we are inviting the
best 8 players (4 boys and 4 girls) and 2 coach’s from 6 countries;
Canada, Spain, Israel, Mexico, Serbia and the United States. All of
these countries have well developed tennis associations. Each year
thereafter, we will be adding 6-8 additional countries so that it
will become the premier International event for 14 and under children.
During their weeklong visit here, the players will be active in the
community. In addition to the tournament, they will be visiting the
Aflac Cancer Center of Childrens’ Health Care (the recipient of our
funds), interfacing with children their own age and developing life
long friendships. They will also have the opportunity to visit the
Georgia Aquarium (the world’s largest), the new Coca-Cola Museum,
CNN Headquarters, the Panda Bears at the zoo and many other sights
in the area. They will also have an opportunity to shop at some
of our nearby stores and malls. Additionally, they will be dining
nightly with different families in the community.
On the Monday and Tuesday of the event we will be having a Friendship
Tournament. This will allow local children and those from the
Southeast U.S. to play with the future pros. Keeping in mind that
our visitors are excellent players, we encourage you to sign your
children up to play in this fun tournament. Registration forms
can be found on this website and e-mailed or faxed to us.
