National Junior Tennis Conference this Weekend in Chicago; Junior Orange Bowl Acceptances; Mississippi St Player Arrested
CARE Academy Director Mark Bey is hosting his 12th annual National Junior Tennis Conference this weekend, and once again he has a great lineup of coaches and speakers for his three day event. Although I've only been able to attend once, in 2005, I thoroughly enjoyed it, and I recommend it to players, juniors, coaches and anyone else interested in junior development. This year Bey welcomes USTA Manager of Sport Science, Dr. Marc Kovacs (for his book on tennis training, use this amazon.com link: Tennis Training: Enhancing On-court Performance
The Junior Orange acceptance lists have been posted at the tournament's TennisLink site. It's good to see South Florida rivals Breaunna Addison, Victoria Duval, Madison Keys and Sachia Vickery all entered in the 14s. Along with Ohio's Kyle McPhillips, that's a very strong contingent for the U.S.
And finally, there's some bad news surfacing in college tennis. The Starkville, Miss. News is reporting that Mississippi State tennis player Christopher Doerr has been arrested and charged with rape.

hi colette , nice blog !
do you know why quinzi won't be playing?
I didn't notice that he wasn't until your comment. He's also withdrawn from the Eddie Herr. I'll see what I can find out at the Eddie Herr.
Doerr's arrest actually made national news. I saw it on cbssportsline.com and espn.com
Quinzi is not playing the Florida events due to academic commitments in Italy.
