Want to serve as a ballkid for the Pilot Pen Tennis Tournament this August in New Haven?

Training/Tryouts will be held from 9 am to 12 noon on June 14-15, from 1:30 to 4:30 pm on June 28-29 and July 19-20. On July 26-27, the trainings will be held from 8 to 10 am. Attendance at four or more sessions is mandatory for both returning and new prospective ballkids. Potential ballkids should wear sneakers and comfortable clothing, along with a hat. Also, bring water!

Every session will be held at the Yale court. If there is rain, they will be held at the Cullman Indoor Courts, adjacent to the outdoor courts, except for June 14-15. No pre-registration for the Training/Tryout sessions is necessary.

Those selected as ballkids will receive an official uniform by FILA, tickets to select sessions and more. The Pilot Pen will run from August 15 through August 23 at the Connecticut Tennis Center in New Haven.
