Reviews of the 55th Annual Championships Tournament were positive with plans of increasing participation for 2012. A detailed discussion was had from the President's Report on her attendance at the ATA 94th Championships in Atlanta. A National Ranking Committee and Membership Committee were called into existence by President Franklyn Scott at the Annual Membership Meeting. MID-TAC followed suit and established its own Section Ranking Committee.

MID-TAC's Coaches and Instructors Committee is poised to have at least two additional Coaches Connection Junior Camps before the close of the year. Plans were also  shared for launching the 2nd Annual "Friends of MID-TAC Juniors" Holiday Raffle October 20 to December 11, 2011. The new Research and Development Chairperson, Roger Allen, attended his first MID-TAC Meeting and left armed with pertinent information to solicit funds on behalf of MID-TAC's Junior Development efforts with new vigor and purpose.

The key accomplishment of the Meeting, however, was the adoption of MID-TAC's Policy and Procedurals Manual that was developed under the supervision of Parliamentarian, Richard Brown of Detroit, MI, [click here for copy]. The Manual was adopted by a unanimous vote of all eleven of MID-TAC Member Clubs - each represented at the Meeting.

MID-TAC is in good shape and ready to move to the next level. A call out was also made for people interested in being trained as tournament directors, site directors and site director assistants. Contact the President for details at mdorsey@acninc.net.

The final Tier II Coaches Connection Junior Camp for the year was held Saturday, December 10, 2011 at Lakewood Racquet Club. The Camp was designed as a follow up to the Cincinnati Camp and gave returning juniors the opportunity to put to practical application the information and training received November 26th. Additional emphasis was placed on mental toughness and the tactical approach to strokes and execution.

Over 21 juniors competed in "rise & fly" singles and were stopped by the coaches in the middle of playing to review strokes and strategies. Winners received trophies, and as is the tradition of Wolfe Park, parents were on-hand to help with lunches and supervision. Forest City Tennis Club and Tennis All Stars juniors had the opportunity to participate and benefit from the overall synergy of the two camps. Juniors on the two 60" courts also got a chance to work on advancing their skills. They truly had a ball.
