Tennis Touring Team 2012

We are excited to have selected the 2012 Tennis Touring Team to travel to England in the summer of 2012. As always the team represents the wide spread popularity of the John Newcombe Tennis Ranch and the best tennis camp in the US. There are kids from New York, New Mexico, Texas and Mexico. The tennis campers have all been chosen on their attitude and effort. The winter tennis camp in which we chose them saw almost 200 kids competing for a spot to go. These tennis campers led the camp incredibly well! They can be proud that they helped NEWKS develop even more great campers, tennis players and people! The field of young tennis players was so strong this year, that we decided to choose our largest team ever, 10 girls and 10 boys.

The tour includes a week of tennis camp at NEWKS, and 3 weeks in Europe. The kids will enjoy a few days of awesome tennis at Wimbledon. They will travel to Liverpool and enjoy the Beatles Museum as well as competing against a tennis academy there. The tour will then turn North towards Scotland where against popular opinion they do speak English. We will compete against some academies here and play a tourney with the best tennis players in Scotland, as well as do some incredible site- seeing! The tour will wrap up with a day in England to see Greenwich mean- time, views of the Thames, the royal palace and maybe even a live show!

It will again be an unforgettable experience in the summer of 2012! The anticipation will build throughout the year to a point where the kids are at a new level of excitement! The John Newcombe Tennis Ranch is proud of all the tennis team members, alternate selections, honorable mentions, and all of our campers and guests. You all create the excitement for this Legend-ary  European touring team! – Chris Jacques, Touring Team Director

With Newk in Wimbledon

The tennis at Wimbledon was amazing! We watched Nadal and Djokovic explode through the draw! From the atmosphere in the “queue” ( an English word for “line,” waiting for Wimbledon Tickets) to the tube rides, to the constant tennis celebrities in and around Wimbledon, there was constant excitement for the team!

The good will that the John Newcombe Tennis Ranch instills in people around the world is amazing! We stop in Liverpool where the Palmerston Club looks after us like their own members. The kids meet English players, particioate in clinics, play matches and compete against each other. The Club has hundreds of members ranging from tiny tots to adults. Liverpool, the home of the Beatles, is always a special place for all of us!

The new destination on the Touring Team map this year was Hamilton, Scotland. An outlying suburb of Glasgow. We trained and played matches at a first class facility called the Esporta club. The kids and I had our first opportunity to play on indoor carpet!  Some of the highlights included a jog to the peak in Hamilton where we could see over the entire town. Another highlight was the Mexican food at one of our team dinners, which was surprisingly good being so far from Mexico!

Team in Oban

Oban Scotland as usual was the prettiest place on our map. This is a picturesque bed and breakfast town, where the best players in Scotland come to battle it out. It is always a great experience for our kids! This year, our own Kaysie Hermsdorf made the final of the Open ladies singles. The first time this has been done by a member of the American team.

 We all shed a tear when the tour was over, even the boys! Houston Airport security had to usher us on as the team did not want to break up. The special thing about this tour is the friends and even second family that is created, by the experience. The tour will forever be a positive step forward for all members, and I really do hope they all remain friends, stay in touch and remain part of the, “ Newcombe Team-Family- Team.”

We sill select the 2012 team during our Top Gun Winter Camp December 26-31, 2011. Register for camp and see if you can make the team! – Chris Jacques, Team Coordinator

 The Summer Tennis Academy features fitness, conditioning, weight training, tennis drills, and match play along with a variety of topics in the “chalk talk session”.  Some of these sessions have included how to prepare for a tournament, setting goals, positive physical responses in a match, how to relax before and during a match, having automatic rituals during match play, and nutrition.
