Junior Players of the Month for June

My apologies for the late notice in this post as I have been wrapped up in the singles tournament during the month of July.

A big congratulations to Elyse and Sasha Rogers for winning junior players of the month for the month of June.  Both girls completely deserved the award as they showed tremendous enthousiasm and energy when coming to the courts.

Both Elyse and Sasha's favorite shots are groundstrokes.  While Elyse's favorite shot is the forehand, Sasha's favorite shot is the backhand.  In addition, both sisters have similar interests in that when they are not playing tennis they enjoy swimming.  Elyse enjoys playing soccer as well.

Elyse finds inspiration in developing her tennis game from her favorite tennis player, reigning Wimbledown girls champion and Canadian Eugenie Bouchard.  Whereas Sasha looks up to her favorite player and tennis instructor Patrick LeBlanc.


Both girls continue to come the junior socials with big smiles eager to learn and participate in all of the drills.

Congratulations again to Elyse and Sasha!
