Madison Hill is doing great in her second year at St Louis. She interned at a law firm last summer, giving her valuable experience. They liked her so much that they offered her a part time position year round! So proud of her in all ways!!

Very proud of this young man- despite having been sick and not able to prepare as he’d have like before National Hard Courts in hot Mobile, Ransom Conway strung together a lot of wins over other top 12 year old boys to make the semis of the backdraw after losing in the 2nd rd of MD!
Our kids have had excellent results in all the various sites of Nationals this week- more pictures and results to come- some are still playing!

It ‘s been another busy and wonderful weekend at VDM. We celebrated the 1st 3 college signings for 2025 during a new addition to our tournament schedule- an L6 National tournament! It went great with perfect November weather☀️All the kids did well, and many of ours won or medaled. It’s great to see their growth and good attitudes on court.
