My name is Slone Early and I am behind Spur Tennis Club. I have been playing tennis for about five years now and I absolutely love everything about this sport. I am a full time college student at Texas A&M studying Geographic Information Science and Technology with a minor in Computer Science. I've put on a number of local tournaments in Gatesville, Texas, including the first annual Ethan Sandell Memorial Tournament. I also worked at the Texas A&M Women's Tennis Camp as a camp counselor, as well as having worked at Ridgewood Country Club's tennis camp for 2 years, and assisted the Gatesville High School tennis camp for 4 years. I have also hosted my own free tennis camp called the Gatesville High School Tennis Preparation Camp, where I helped a number of junior high and freshmen players get ready for high school tennis.

When I was in high school, there were an abundance of tournaments for players to enter without having to travel great distances. After being in college for a year, I wanted to start entering tournaments again, and I quickly realized how few tournaments there were in my area! I wanted to change that. I wanted to give the players in my area the same consistent oppurtunites to play and grow that I had. As such, the Spur Tennis Club was born.
