In 2010, our “Iron Range Racketeers” challenged the Twin Cities Senior Tennis Club players to come for a tournament.  Although we prevailed, everyone had such a good time that we have decided to host the first Statewide MN Senior Tennis Open.

Play at our 10-court facility (4 indoor) will begin at approx. 3:00 Friday, July 29 and end Sunday afternoon.  A welcoming “cook out” is planned for Friday evening, plus a banquet for Saturday evening with a brief awards ceremony scheduled for Sunday.

There will be three age categories: 50-62, 62-74 plus 74 and up.  Participants may register for men’s or women’s singles and doubles plus mixed doubles. Please help spread the word – and sign up to play if you will be 50 or older on July 29.  For an overview of our facility and for examples of some of our programs, please visit  www.qctfa.com.

Come early or stay longer to enjoy golf at the Virginia and Eveleth municipal courses or at the highly rated courses at Giant’s Ridge near Biwabik or at Fortune Bay on Lake Vermilion.  The Quad Cities have many fine motels, and the Coates hotel will be offering a Quad Cities tennis tournament rate of $60.00 per night.

Mail your $35.00 registration fee (payable to QCT) and registration form, which covers balls and unlimited interior court time, to George Erickson at 4678 Cedar Island Drive, Eveleth, MN 55734.  (tundracub@mchsi.com and 218-744-2003.)

Teams from Virginia, Grand Rapids and Aitkin took part in the annual event. Thanks to the generous contributions of the Engman family, Kevin, Virginia and Kristine, the event was once again a tremendous success. Paul was a former multi-sport star who was unfortunately killed in a car accident on January 4, 2003. He was 16 years of age. This annual tournament is something that these teams look forward to every year. The theme of the day is to have fun and play with that sole purpose in mind. The teams play each other and then team up with other players from other towns to enjoy the experience of meeting others who could become lifelong friends. Coaches even get the opportunity to play on this fine day. The Engmans also provide Paul’s favorite meal of taco in a bag and provide a memorial T-Shirt for all players and coaches which is greatly appreciated.

Steve and Jen Bonner of the Coke Company in Virginia provided all the refreshments for those involved. We would like to thank them for all of the support they have given over the years of the tourney.

In the near future we would like to invite former players that were on Paul’s team to take part in the special day. If interested please contact Dave Gunderson to take part.
