Precision Eye Care Tennis Tournament Scheduled for June 13-16

Precision Eye Care’s annual tennis tournament is scheduled for June 13-16 at the Floyd Hager tennis courts in Farmington’s Engler Park. Registration is now open for players in multiple adult and junior divisions: Juniors (Boys/Girls) Singles and Doubles, Adults/Open (Men/Women) Singles and Doubles, Seniors (Men/Women) Doubles and Mixed Open (All Ages) Doubles. Registered players can participate in a maximum of two events, and final brackets are determined by the number of players in each division. Registration fees are donated to the Farmington and North County high schools’ tennis programs.

“Tennis continues to be a lifetime sport that our community embraces,” stated Dr. John Fitz, the tournament executive sponsor. “There’s something special about being on the courts when players and fans come together for friendly competition, community and support for our high school tennis teams.” 

Registration fees are still only $10 and one new can of tennis balls per person per registered event.  Registered participants receive a tournament shirt and winners in each event receive plaques.

“Everyone is welcome to play,” said tournament director Julie Powers. “All skill levels are encouraged, so it’s a fun activity for beginners, high school players, recreational and very experienced players, (both kids and adults). It’s a lot of fun watching all players compete on the courts.”

Thursday and Friday matches are played in the afternoon and evening, while Saturday matches run all day long and into the evening. Sunday match times are reserved for weather-delayed and/or remaining finals matches.

Registration forms are available at the Precision Eye Care office located at 140 Westmount Drive in Farmington, in the FILES section of the Facebook group: Tennis - St Francois County, MO or directly from a tournament official.
