We are very excited to announce that the Texas A&M - Corpus
Christi men’s and women’s tennis programs will host the
Mercedes-Benz Dealer Championships on Saturday at the Thomas J.
Henry Tennis Center. Doubles will start at 9 a.m. and in case of rain the event will move to
the indoor courts at the HEB Tennis Center at 1520 Shely St. at
9:30 a.m.
We are very excited and looking
forward to this event. The Mercedes-Benz has been an extremely
high-level event with eight top men and eight top women pairing
with Islanders players in doubles to win an all-paid expense trip
to Hawaii.
If you are interested in being one of the contestants please
contact Steve Moore at 361-425-1546 or Gerry Maingot at the Corpus
Christi Country Club (361-991-7561).
The event will offer men's and women's doubles, which will be
divided into flights by National Tennis Rating Program (NTRP)
levels. Each participating team is guaranteed three matches
along with lunch during the event, and the entry fee is a $50.00
donation to the Islanders Tennis teams. Each player will also
receive a gift donated by Mercedes-Benz.
Along with the men's and women's doubles flights, there will be
an "Islander – Amateur" flight. In this division local
players will play with an Islanders tennis player. This entry fee
is a minimum donation of $200.00 to the Islanders Tennis Team. The
winners of the "Islander – Amateur" flight will advance to
the Western Sectional Championships which will be held in Oahu,
Hawaii, compliments of Mercedes-Benz.
Admission is free for spectators at the Thomas J. Henry Tennis
Center.
We are very grateful to Mr. Ed Hicks and Mercedes-Benz and the
great Corpus Christi community who has supported this.
Thank you for your continued
support of Islanders Tennis!
