Welcome to the 30th Annual Heritage Tennis Classic Tournament in Gainesville Florida, hosted by our Each One Teach One foundation. We host this tournament to facilitate the growth and development of all players. Our core values in tennis translated to proven success on and off the court. These values are:
Each player must be willing to do the work - self motivated to be a student of the game, practice and play often
Each player must take risks - this means playing away tournaments, apply new and existing skills under pressure
Each player must be a teacher to themselves and others - help others play and improve
Each player should strive to demonstrate a noble character of truth, humility, and goodwill on and off the court.
It is our hope that this tournament gives each player (and their parents, guardians and chaperones) the opportunity to work on any of these values they find most appealing while enjoying the spirit of competition and good sportsmanship work our fellow competitors, their patrons and tournament officials.
