Novak Djokovic bested Andy Murray in the Australian Open final on Sunday earning his sixth career Grand Slam title.

Both competitors were great throughout the tournament, but Djokovic came out on top with a score of 6-7, 7-6, 6-3, 6-2.

The match marks the end of 2013′s first major tournament, and the last we’ll see for a while. The next Grand Slam, the French Open, doesn’t start for a distant four months (May 26th).

Dear Middle School Coaches and Parents,

The league has been registered online. The next step is to register teams. We need a captain/parent/coach for each team to complete the free background check. This takes about 15 minutes. That captain will be the contact person for their team. This is not a hard job.
If you are interested in volunteering for your child’s team, let me know as soon as possible. I will get you the info and then register your team.
I hope to have teams registered by Tuesday, September 4, 2012. Play will begin Friday, September 14 at 5pm.
Please call if you have any questions
