Should you have ANY questions, please text us at (833) 601-0174.

Our Group's Check-in Time: 1:30pm
Please give yourself ample time to park and walk over to the Net Generation meeting area. If any additional friends or family members with purchased tickets are coming to watch our demo, they must enter through the main gate. No one but the player and his/her confirmed chaperone may enter with our group. Please note, there is absolutely zero wiggle room with our check-in time. We apologize for the rigidity, but the USTA is firm on this rule. 

Parking:
We are recommending Yellow Zone Parking (i.e., Mets Stadium Parking).

Check out this map:

Player Attire:
Your child will be provided with a Net Generation shirt that is theirs to keep. White bottoms (skirt or shorts) are mandatory. The Net Generation shirt that your child will change into will be provided once you arrive. No hats please. Players should wear non-marking tennis shoes (i.e., no black bottoms).

Outside items:
• Racquets will be provided. Please do not bring one. A quick note on racquets: they will be red ball sized. If your child currently plays on orange, green or yellow, please mention this to your child ahead of time.

Day Breakdown:

After 1:30pm Check-in. As soon as everyone in our group is accounted for, we will receive our wristbands. Please keep these on. This wristband is your "ticket". From there, the Net Generation team will escort our group onto the grounds through security and to our designated meeting spot. The staff will recap a few housekeeping items. We will then have some prescribed amount of time (TBD that day) to use the restrooms, change and explore the grounds before returning to the same meeting spot. 

Just before players head to court. Players will give any extra items to their chaperones to hold. Parents will be escorted to the demo viewing location. Anastasia and Dave (i.e., Murray Hill's coaches) will line players up in position. Your child will be given a racket and ball to hold. The USTA team/Murray Hill coaches will escort the players onto the court. They will run one lap around the court while waving to the fans in Arthur Ashe Stadium. They will complete their lap and find their spot on the court (the coaches will help them), opposite another Murray Hill player and start rallying. The rally lasts about ten minutes. During the demo, players are encouraged to do handshakes and high fives after completing a rally. Once players hear an announcement to stop playing, they go to the net and have a group picture taken. After the picture, players run off the court the same way the came in. Again, our coaches and USTA volunteers will be there to help them every step of the way. Players will then meet their chaperones back at the designated meeting spot.

After the 6:30pm demo concludes. We will be escorted out once the demo is complete. If you have purchased an evening session Ashe ticket, you may reenter the stadium at that time. 

Please let us know if you have any questions. The best way to reach us is via text. Again, our texting line is (833) 601-0174.

We're looking forward to an unforgettable day!
-Your Murray Hill Tennis Team
