A New Beginning for the Academy
As many of you know, Steve Denton left the academy in August
of 2006 to take the men's head coaching position at Texas
A&M University in College Station. During his time in
Corpus, Steve was instrumental in bringing the facility back
up to speed, speerheading the $500,000 bond issue in November
of 2005 that saw major renovation to our facility, as well
as being the principal figure in the fundraising and construction
of the Sessions Pavilion. Steve also founded the Denton Di
Laura Tennis Academy, predecessor to the current academy,
with Carlos Di Laura and Cory Brooks in September of 2001.
We wish him well in his new endeavor and thank him for all
he did during his time at the tennis center!
In December the City of Corpus Christi named Cory Brooks as
the Facility Manager for the H.E.B. Tennis Center. Cory will
also assume the role as President of Premier Tennis, Inc.
and Director of Tennis for the Premier Tennis Academy. The
current staff will remain the same, with Alex Johansson directing
the junior programs and Paul Cass directing the adult programs.
Cory hopes to build upon the academy's past successes with
the addition of new and exciting programs. We are very excited
about the prospect of a long lasting relationship between
Premier Tennis, Inc. and the City of Corpus Christi!

Rachel's Journal at Winter Nationals
(12-29-05)
I'm having a good time at the Winter Nationals in Tucson. My parents and I
drove for 15 hours on Christmas Day, because when I'm done with the
tournament, we are driving to New Mexico to go skiing with some friends who
are meeting us there. My first singles match was weird because it was
against my doubles partner! We were evenly matched and I lost a tough battle
7-5, 6-4.
