@plez24@EthanMosz My daughter switched to pickleball and is much happier. International players have ruined college tennis for Americans. I would not advise spending all the money for private lessons. The return is not there.
I think this is just another reason for the kids to skip over to Pickleball. My daughter trained hard and became the state tennis champion and would have been lucky to get a D1 scholarship to a top school. There is so much growth and fun in Pickleball. With tennis the junior tourneys were a grind. From what I hear the college teams that are 75% foreigners aren't that fun either. My advice to junior tennis players and parents is to stop paying for private lessons and travel. Train hard in pickleball. It is way more fun.
My daughter was the state tennis champ as a sophmore three years ago. As good as she was we knew she really didn’t have a shot at a pac or big 12 scholarship. We focused on pickleball where she excelled and got sponsored (paid) to play right away. She is having way more fun competing at the pro level in pickleball and playing for her college club team. As a tennis/pickle dad I can tell you junior tennis was no fun. Pickleball is fun and growing. International players are ruining college tennis.
First sighting of an RFID-forward craps layout (for casino tokens/chips embedded with microchips). Small learning curve for players, but very OCD-friendly. @elliscasinolv
@VitalVegas I have some great memories of their dice pit as a player and dealer. Will be missed. Wish they could try a $3 game just to pack the front of the casino.
