  assistance for players.

We also need scorekeepers! Scorekeepers are volunteers who monitor the scores during
match play. They also act as an umpire to supervise players and address issues such as line
calls. Having scorekeepers in the league is crucial as it helps the kids to concentrate on playing
the game and foster a positive fair play environment. Scores results are important information
that helps parent coaches to manage their team by identifying the strength and weakness of
their team. If you are interested, please contact Coach Wallis by emailing
tennisyukon.coach@gmail.com.
