Sportsmen's Tennis Club Let David Go Away...

Sportsmen's Tennis Club let David leave the club...
I was looking for some temporary help with paying for David's tennis classes, but unfortunately, the director of the club - TONY WILEY and NADINE HOUSTON said to me that we are not qualifying for any help from the club...
I supported Sportsmen's Tennis Club for over 5 years, paying for all tennis classes, clinics, and summer camps... I was donating extra money to support clubs activities, and support Sportsmen's... and now when I needed help from the club I got the answer - NO!
ESPECIALLY, I'm talking about ranked USTA # 4 tennis player IN New England???
I am so, so surprised and sad. David started to cry when I told him that we need to stop his tennis because currently as a family we are experiencing taft times. After a few days David said to me with tears in his eyes, "don't worry mommy, maybe we can find another club who wants me, and who will appreciate my hard work to be a great tennis player..."

I know that Sportsmens awards lot of financial help to many players. They get lots of help from many sponsors, I was sponsoring the club too...
Now it is depending from who NADINE HOUSTON and TONY WILEY likes! I know that NADINE HOUSTON DOESN'T LIKE DAVID or me and that's WHY SHE DIDN'T LIKE TO HELP US!!!
Last summer David was bullied at the Sportsman's Tennis Club during summer camps, when I looked for help from Nadine Houston, as the camp director, she said that "David, who was 8 at that time, should defense himself, and all other nonsenses... Nadine Houston said that she "can not promise me that, that kind of behavior won't happen again against my son...
That incident and the fact that we are white family, decided that David was refused any, even temporary help from that club, NADINE HOUSTON and TONY WILEY just let him go...
The only two people decide about any player at the Sportsmen's - Tony Wiley and Nadine Houston, their favoritism decides who is going to get help from the club!

IT IS VERY SAD HOW THE SPORTSMEN'S TENNIS CLUB OPERATES...
WOULD YOU LIKE YOUR KID BE A PART OF THE CLUB?
I hope NOT!!!

Why Sportsmen's Tennis Club Doesn't SUPPORT Good Talented Young Players???

David is one of the members at Sportsmen's Tennis Club, since 2005. Since we started attending tennis clinics and private lessons, many changes were made in administration of the club. In the last 5 years, executive director has been changed 3 times! Many other positions at Sportsmen's also been replaced a few times... I was always wondering, why?... this club doesn't mean to be stable place for young tennis players...
Tony Wiley is executive director now at Sportsmen's... I realized that she is not friendly for some families and young players, not supportive at all for my son, David... maybe because we are the "white family"???
David, at age 9 is ranked in New England USTA #4 in age bracket 10 and under. That means he is one of the promising and talented 9 year old players.
At Sportsmen's he is not appreciated at all from the director - Tony Wiley, she seams to not even notice him or sometimes talk to him to show that appreciation. It is very strange situation to me and David, that little boy can feel it and talk to me about that. I think director of tennis club should support players, be friendly, enthusiastic, and make nice atmosphere at the club for every body's enjoyment.
I noticed that Tony Wiley speaks "unfriendly" to parents and her whole attitude isn't the best model for children! I heard many complains from different families under her address.
But my question is: Why Tony Wiley doesn't support the white, talented 9 year old boy, who seams to be a very promising tennis player???

Bike the dunes in Provincetown

Adventurers can bike the sand dunes along the beaches. The dunes lining the shores of Provincetown are the most popular. Try the 7-mile Province Land Trail that challenges even the most fit with steep dune after steep dune.

Bike the Cape Cod Rail Trail

Rent a bike along the Cape Cod Rail Trail - a great way to see the seashore. The state has spent $6.2 million refurbishing the trails the past two winters.

Do not Buy These Baby Strollers!

The consumer watchdog group says the strollers pose a safety risk to children.

The directive comes after the strollers failed Consumer Reports testing.

The three strollers that Consumer Reports is saying don’t buy are, the Valco Baby Tri-Mode, Tike Tech City x3 All-Terrain Stroller and the Tike Tech x3 Sport Jogging Stroller.

The problem is something many parents might not be aware of.

“The danger here is if the child’s torso slips underneath the bar but the head gets hung up,” explained Consumer Reports

The American Society for Testing and Materials requires that if there is enough space for the child’s body to pass underneath the stroller tray or grab bar, then there must be enough space for a child’s head to pass through as well.

Consumer Reports tested the strollers using a ball to represent a child’s head.

“This ball should pass through underneath that bar under its own weight. It doesn’t so it fails to comply with the industry standards,” said Consumer Reports.

So far, the manufacturers of the strollers in question say they have received no reports of any injuries involving their strollers.

Consumer Reports says it will pass its findings on to the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

Recommendations for Bicycle Trailer Users

It is important that your baby is safe at all times, especially when you take him on the road in the bicycle trailer. I realized that is never to much to read about safety, new rules, and recommendations, if we are talking about our childrens safety.
That's why I write a lot about these topics and hope that you make them useful and practical for your family.

- Don't buy a bicycle trailer or a bicycle-mounted seat until your baby is at least 1 year old. It is not recommend for children younger than that because they may not be physically equipped to withstand the forces they'll be exposed to when riding in a bicycle seat or trailer. And when they're younger than age 1, they can't support their head properly with a helmet on, which all riders should wear.

- Choose based on your needs, riding ability, and where you are riding. Trailers are "off-road vehicles"; use them only in parks and on safe, smooth trails where there's no risk of encounters with cars.
- Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for bicycle trailer, regarding the maximum weight, which is usually up to 100 pounds.

- The better bicycle trailers have sturdy construction, tinted windows, a comfortable interior, and a wide wheel base. But before you buy, ask yourself if you will use the trailer enough to justify the price. If you think you'll use it only occasionally, buy the most durable trailer you can find at the low-end price.
- Consider how much weight you'll tow. If the weight of the bicycle trailer plus the passenger or passengers exceeds 50 pounds, you may start to feel like a beast of burden. Pedaling uphill can be especially difficult. At that point, maybe it's time for riders to get their own bikes.

- Take your cycling ability into consideration. If you opt for a bicycle-mounted seat, you might find a rear-mounted seat with a child in tow unnerving and exhausting to operate. If you're a novice or not in top shape, you'd probably be better off with a front-mounted seat. If you go with a bicycle trailer, ride with only one child at a time if you're an infrequent rider.
- Finally, have your child wear a lightweight, well-fitting bike helmet, and never leave a child in the seat with the bike on the kick stand, which isn't made to support the weight.
