Hello everyone im David Mckenna. Im am 15 years old. And i will be informing you of all the events that will take place this year in the under16 age group.
First i will tell u about our main tournament this year. Its and under 16 tournament.It takes place in almost every part of spain.There are 8 Marcas all over spain for example place like Barcalona,Alicante,Sevilla,Zaragoza and Madrid.......So at the end of all the 8 Marca tournaments you have a masters.Where the top 8 players who get the best results in all the tournament will go to Marbella. A beautiful tennis club.To play the masters. And on because of their top performaces everything is paid for the player hotels, food.......and lots more.
Now i will tell you about our journey to Barcalona. We left the academy in the morning at about 12 o clock. We arrived there at like 17:30 We went straight to the resturant because we were so hungry....So after about 5 mins we found a resturant. it looked good we went in everything was clean. But the waiters were so slow.Not a very good first impression hey.But i dont think it was because they are slow i think the waiter were still shocked at Barcalonas loss to Getafe 0_4 hahahaha Afer that we found a hotel. It was good but the beds were abit dodgeeeeeeeeee but we got to sleep. Woke up the next morning ready to play or shall i say ready to sleep hahaha.We went to eat breakfast and then we shot off to the courts.When we got there i was ready to have a look around.I did and so did the other there were 5 of us including the coach.The club was very nice and i was ready to play right then.But that was not our day for any of us we all lost first round except for 2 people Sergio ballester of spain and Suzy Larkin of England.The rest of us packed our bags and left on the train unhappy.Sergio went on to lose 64 in the third set in the second round.And we should all say well done to Suzy who played a really good tournament and got to semis.In a very difficult tournament. And Suzy is only 15 this year so she played people one year older than her.
And it dosent stop there..... on top of Suzys good tournament she was the first person in the academy to win the letter competition. I will explain.You have to get all the letters of E.Q.U.E.L.I.T.E.I will explain how. It sounds easy.
E stands for positive training
Q stands for food care like if u eat salads and stuff.
U stands for correct use of installations
E stands for positive physical training,
L stands for bedroom clean
I stands for intrest in tennis.
T stands for effort in tournaments.
E stands for positive attitude.
And every week for 8 months we have a meeting in the gym to see who gets and who loses letters. And this week we would like to say well done to Suzy Larkin who is have a great week.Her prize for winning was lots of lotto clothes like shoes,skirts,socks,t-shirts,wristbands and shorts.But if you work hard thats what you get. Im going will inform you how all the other tournaments go see ya.....and next time i will tell you more about all the players and coaches who go to these tournaments.
