THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO PARTICIPATED IN THE 2018 FALL CLASSIC!
Well, I hope this message finds you rested and fully recovered from what was truly a lifetime experience. Our 13thAnnual Fall Classic was made FABULOUS because of the level of participation we received from the competing athletes, spirited volunteers, generous sponsors, dedicated committee leaders, supportive families, involved coaches, and finally the beautiful weather conditions. All together it left most everyone wanting more.
While it would be too lengthy to thank everyone individually, just know that your attendance was so greatly appreciated by the entire leadership team of Special Pops Tennis. It is always terrific to see our athletes renew friendships with fellow athletes. It is equally wonderful when first time athletes and volunteers come together with the veteran participants and begin building new friendships with each other.
The entire experience can only be explained and understood by those that participate and witness the positive impact it has on each life that is touched during the experience.
Here’s looking to 2019 for an even greater and more memorable experience!!!!!!!!!!

Special Pops Tennis – Executive Director
