At noon, the Pro-Am tournament will begin featuring four amateurs and four tennis professionals playing four rounds in a round robin format. La Casa del Zorro Resort is located at 3845 Yaqui Pass Road, Borrego Springs.

 

 "School Choice matters because it values an ideal education for everyone, and our school can allow them to feel comfortable knowing there is now a way to implement this ideal model. Our communities must value education to prosper and with school choice families, students and communities can receive an answer to their problems, prayers and concerns,” said David Reichner, athletic/marketing director at Juan Bautista de Anza.
