Nassau Tennis Club’s Junior Tennis Team Takes Second Place at the USTA National Championships

By Stacey Anderson
Skillman, NJ (October 25, 2012) – Sixteen junior tennis teams in the 14 & Under category, from all over the country, came to battle in the United States Tennis Association (USTA) National Championships from October 19-21 in Cayce, South Carolina. Nassau Tennis Club’s junior tennis team beat teams from Texas, New England, the Midwest and the Southwest to earn a spot in the finals. 
The Nassau finalists lost in a closely contested match to another New Jersey team from the Eastern division that included three players also training at Nassau’s prestigious High Performance Academy.
“Despite our best effort, including 3 tie-break sets, the Nassau Dare Doubles finished second.  The last-match loss didn’t damp our high spirits:  the team was thrilled with their accomplishment.  At the awards ceremony, we learned that 13,000 teams with a total of 90,000 players had participated in the season that culminated in the National Championships we had just competed in.  Finishing 2nd in the nation in a league of that size felt very impressive and made us proud!” exclaimed Benton Camper, Team Coach, Manager of the Nassau Tennis Club and proud father of two sons on the team.
The USTA put together an incredible event:  organized, efficient, exciting and fun.
