Lots of hugs, smiles and thank yous…..
The PTR Foundation is very proud to sponsor SONA Championships for 20 years in a row. For the first time I (Radhika), volunteered to work at the tournament. They say, parenting doesn’t come with a manual. I just found mine!! The athletes’ parents and coaches taught me patience at a different level and their communication tone was beyond amazing. I got SO many hugs, smiles and thank yous from the extraordinary athletes. The volunteers were so fun to work with. Barry Coats and his team’s dedication and work ethic are commendable. The days are long, but not stressful. The whole week was great fun!. I can’t wait to volunteer again next year!!

“Dennis Van der Meer, Founder of PTR and PTR Foundation, changed the face of tennis forever, advanced the teaching profession immeasurably, and was a singularly far reaching individual in his field. He realized his largest dreams, advanced the sport surpassingly and ultimately made tennis much more accessible than it ever would have been without him.“
