VERO BEACH — All tennis buffs get ready for the Youth Guidance 7th Annual Master of the King of the Hill Tennis Tournament held Fridays, Nov. 4, 11 and 18, at The Boulevard Village and Tennis Club, Vero Beach.
The Senior Division begins at 5 p.m. and the Open Division begins at 6:30 p.m. This annual event involves tennis professionals (U.S.P.T.A.) from Indian River and surrounding counties.
The competition provides an opportunity for the winners of the previous 16 King of the Hill Tournaments to play one another to determine who the “Master” is of all the King of the Hill champions.
The King of the Hill Tennis Tournament, a six-week contest played in January and February, was introduced in 1996 to give area tennis enthusiasts the chance to watch high level doubles competition and tennis pros the opportunity to partake and enjoy the spirit of competition.
All funds raised at the Masters will directly benefit the children in the Youth Guidance Mentoring & Activities Program.
Ticket prices are $8 each, $15 for couples with special pricing for individuals attending all three dates and $60 for admittance to both the Masters and the King of the Hill Tournaments.
There will also be a lot of fun and excitement including a 50/50 raffle, a cash bar and dinner buffet.
The primary purpose of Youth Guidance is to match each of its nearly 700 at-risk K-12 grade children with a volunteer mentor 21 years or older and keep youth engaged in positive educational, cultural and recreational year-round activities.
The agency is actively seeking volunteers to serve as mentors, tutors, or periodic volunteers at ongoing activities for the unmatched children in the program, or to provide regular help in the office.
