Lynnwood, WALocal News

The Snohomish Summer Smash tennis tournament will run from July 17-20 at Snohomish High School, targeting high school players aged 14-18. Registration fees are set at $40 for singles players and $60 for doubles and mixed-doubles teams, with proceeds directed to the high school tennis programs. Launched in 2015, the tournament provides competition for players who are not participating in USTA tournaments. Last year, a record 185 players from a wide region competed, underscoring the event's growth and popularity. The increasing interest in youth tennis stems from a lack of competitive opportunities after the pandemic.

The registration deadline is July 8, and players can visit snohomishsummersmash. com for further details. The Summer Smash not only fosters sportsmanship but also strengthens community ties through local athletics. This year marks the 10th anniversary of the tournament, highlighting its importance in the local sports landscape.
