With the month of March
came the beginning of Daylight Saving Time, the first day of spring, and for
members of the Camden County boys and girls high school tennis teams, the
chance of a lifetime. During the 2008 Pacific Life Open (PLO) at Indian
Wells they were right there on the court as the top players in the world
battled it out for titles at the world’s most attended professional tennis
tournament outside the four grand slams. |

Back in August, Camden
County Head Coach Dan Vonk was invited to bring his teams to The Pacific
Life Open to be ballkids. Coach Vonk accepted, and immediately began the
process of helping his team members raise the funds necessary to take
advantage of this opportunity. The ballkids are part of a group of close to
1,000 unpaid volunteers who make the PLO possible. And it seems any
sacrifices to get there were well worth it. The Camden County teams have
been invited back next year and are looking forward to making the trip
again. |
