The Idle Hour Classic Junior tennis tournament was successfully held this past Saturday and Sunday, June 5th and 6th, on the Idle Hour Tennis Club hard courts. The tournament consisted of a total of 46 players spread across 4 age divisions (boys 12 and under, boys 14 and under, boys 16 and under, and boys 18 and under). Most players were local boys; future Idle Hour members? A handful came from further distances in the metro Philadelphia area.
Matches began at 8:00 am both days and were completed on Saturday at 7:00 pm and Sunday at 6:00 pm. The quality of play was high level and impressive, demonstrated excellent sportsmanship, and was a lot of fun to watch. A hearty thank you was sent to all the players who participated over the two days and to all the families for sharing their talented boys.
Families and players were appreciative of the smoothness and organization of the tournament and many commented on the great Idle Hour welcome and facility, including temporary tents and chairs and helpfulness of members throughout both days.
Here are pictures of the finalists and champions in each age division.
