HOTEL INFO: 

This year we do not have an official convention hotel.  There are numerous hotels within 15 minutes of the IRC tennis club.  We have found in recent years that coaches use their points and find online deals for rooms rather than stay at a convention hotel.  Please let us know if we can help you with arrangements.
