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; the Canada, England, 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 in Georgia.

During their weeklong visit here, the players will be active in the community. In addition to the tournament, they will be visiting Childrens’ Health Care (the recipient of our funds) and interfacing with children their own age. Many will probably develop 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. Additionally, they will be dining nightly with different families in the community. If you would like to entertain some or all of the children, please fill out the registration form on this site.

On the Monday and Tuesday of the event we will be having a Friendship Tournament. This will allow children 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.(Depending on the number of responses there will be a qualify tournament to select the best players for the Friendship Tournament)
