This year the 14th annual McDaniel Tennis Teaching Pro’s Tournament will be played from the 6th to the 10th of March 2019, a tournament between the professional players of both Casa de Campo’s tennis clubs; the La Terraza and La Romana Country Club, which is also the major fundraiser for the Ball Boy’s Scholarship Foundation. 

Doubles have been incredibly successful for this tournament so this will be the 4th year with pre-arranged draws, featuring 20 of the best players in Casa de Campo. All matches will be played at the tennis courts of La Romana Country Club, and the happy winners will receive their trophies during an awards ceremony following the finals at LRCC.
