[quote=Anonymous]Going to be real. As a parent of a very competitive player, I would discourage tennis. The cost is huge. There is a ton of travel. The pressure for the players is nuts. There are multiple rankings if your player wants to play in college, and to get them high, you must compete all the time, and most good competition is not in the DMV. If you want in this crazy sport, no need to develop at JTTC when younger. Go local (Pass, JSI, BTA, QO) and throw in a private lesson to develop. Watch out for burnout if your child competes a lot when younger. Be prepared, if your child dominates younger competitions, as soon as puberty hits, the kids who dominate start to fade, and it becomes even more cutthroat. Tournaments are mostly self-governed by kids, and cheating is rampant. Wish my kid stuck with soccer! [/quote]
