The Maureen Connolly Brinker Tennis Foundation has set a “Mo in the Mountains” Training Camp (July 1-3) and the “Little Mo” Internationals (July 3-8) at the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

The camp and tournament are open to boys and girls ages 8-12 from the USA and worldwide. Players can participate in the camp only or the tournament only or both. Singles and doubles will be held for all divisions and matches will be played on full court with the traditional yellow ball.

Chuck Kriese will be the headline speaker/guest coach at the camp. With over 40 years of coaching experience, he has the most wins in history of the Atlantic Coast Conference while coaching at Clemson, has mentored many champions and written many books on coaching.

The goal of the “Little Mo” Internationals is for players to develop new friendships with other players, provide outstanding competition, learn good sportsmanship and most of all, have fun. The winner of each age division will be crowned “Little Mo” International Champion.

 

The “Little Mo” tournaments are named in honor of Maureen “Little Mo” Connolly, who was the first woman to win the Grand Slam in 1953. She is still the only American woman and the youngest to accomplish this magnificent feat.

 

If a player can win all three “Little Mo” Internationals, they will win the “Little Mo” Grand Slam and the tallest trophy ever given in junior tennis (6 ft.).

 

1st leg: “Little Mo” Internationals in Colorado Springs, CO (July 1-8)

 

2nd leg: “Little Mo” Internationals in Forest Hills, NY (August 18-24)

 

3rd leg: “Little Mo” Internationals in Palm Beach Gardens, FL (December 6-11)
