We ,the McKamey family, have gone to the Rowton's website to give our personal endorsement for anyone who wants to learn the fundamentals of tennis. Rowton's Indoor Tennis Center is the place to be or go.
Our daughter, Allison Michelle McKamey has been ranked #1 in the 10s for most of the past three years. She has won the Joe Creason State Closed for the past two years in both singles and (with great partners )also the doubles. As a result, she has qualified for the Southern Closed the past two years. This year Michelle was fortunate enough to play well and to finish fifth in the Southern Closed Tournament with only one loss to the #1 seed from Georgia 6-4, 6-4.
Michelle played in her first tournament at 8 years old and has won numerous tournaments since then. She started playing at the age of 5.
Michelle has had great coaching and a big part of that has come from lessons and clinics at Rowton's. First, Coach Paul Rowton is a great motivator. He is an encyclopedia of tennis and athletic skills knowledge, and his lessons are great for the beginner,as well as the advanced players trying to improve the small things. Next, Coach Nathan Rowton is a former college tennis star and is a tireless worker. He is a master at teaching large groups in clinics and still through his drills and calling players to the side for one-on-one corrections,he's able to help them all improve their games. When Coach Nathan Rowton has worked one-on-one with Michelle in a private lesson, she is motivated learning the fundamentals. For example, he made her aware of learning early preparation to get her racket back long before the ball gets to her. Both coaches end clinics and lessons on a positive note and this is invaluable.
I'll add, by telling you that even Coach Nathan's two oldest sons have gone out of their way to help our daughter in clinics, and Mrs. Paul Rowton at the desk treats all of us like we are a part of the family.
In closing, if you haven't signed up as a member or for clinics at Rowton's do yourself(no ,more importantly your child) a favor and sign up now. It's a gift of a lifetime!!!
Thank You,
Roy and Sherry McKamey
