2023 Parent Information


We are delighted to have you with us and hope your stay will be a memorable one. Our committees are making every effort to see that you enjoy your stay while you are watching your son participate in this important event in his life. If our committees can be of any assistance to you, please let us know and if you have any suggestions for future tournaments we would be happy to hear from you.

Please remember the weather in Michigan can change from day to day. Be prepared for hot, cold, wet and dry!


For your information, water is available on all courts at both tournament locations, bring your own water cooler and ice if you want it. If you'll be using the local practice courts, bring your own cooler with water, as most don't have fountains.
