Grimes Tennis

GT is open!

Hey everyone, big news! Racquet services officially available now 5 days a week @ To the Pointe Shoe Store on Mcculough blvd by the Rob Leake Park Tennis Courts.
You don’t have to keep dropping racquets off at my house anymore! 😊 😆

We’ve had a busy summer with camps and junior team tennis. We got to finish the summer going to Rome, GA for the sectional 18 and under JTT tournament where we finished 3rd and played a lot of good, hard fought matches. Before this we had a fun at the state championship in Jackson with our 18s team losing in the finals by 2 games and our 12s team put a great performance as well to finish 3rd at state. On a final celebration note, we are going to miss these seniors but I’m excited for their college journeys and know we will continue to see these alumni! Summer 2022, we will be waiting for you!

Had a blast working with this kid and helping him meet his goals. Looking forward to helping him with his future endeavors!
