| Kelsey wins her first ITF Women's match |
| |
Having been given a wild card to the main draw of the $10,000 ITF Women's Tournament in Chennai, Kelsey came through a nerve racking first round match against a pretty strong 20 year old from Thailand. Playing her first Kelsey was a bundle of nerves which was expected. Despite this she showed some real good character to pull off a good 6-3, 6-4 victory and justify her Wild Card. WELL DONE!!!!!! |

| CE Residential/Non Residential Summer Camp Begins April 15 th , 2006 |
| |
| Our fifth summer camp officially starts on April 15 th , but a few children have already started coming in as their school year comes to an end. Would be a good idea to register by calling 98410 68543 to avoid the camp getting filled up. As of now we have 15 children signed up and have room for only 20 more. |

We conducted our first tournament which was a Talent Series for Boys and Girls U 14 and State Ranking for Boys and Girls U12.

Winners in the Girls under 14 was Cindhunilla and the girls under 12 was Sangita. Our chief guest for the closing ceremony was Mrs. Nirmala Natarajan, who graciously presided over the function and gave away the prizes. |

| Competitive Edge's First Trip to the USA |
Kelsey Sundaram (Top 5 INDIA Girls U18), Abhijeeth Tiwari (Top 20 INDIA B18's) , Sharadh Ramesh (Top 15 INDIA Boys U12) and Aroon Khatter made their debut trip to the USA to a world renowned tennis camp during the month of December2006 accompanied by our Director Mr. Meenakshi Sundaram.
The kids worked really hard and had a very rewarding tennis trip. They stayed at camp for a month.
Their daily practise started with an hour session with Meenakshi Sundaram after which they joined the Academy kids for a gruelling two hour workout of drills and point situations. The evening sessions were devoted to actual match play with the other academy children.
The kids also had two fitness sessions everyday in the morning and the evening. The month long program finished with a Super Championship Tournament where Abi and Kelsey won the titles in their respective age divisions. Sharadh did real well to make the Quarters where he lost to the #1 player in state in a very close match.
Two Synthetic Courts - We at Competitive Edge are proud to start work the first week in February of our two new Synthetic Tennis Courts.
