YOUTH TENNIS FOUNDATION TO SPONSOR FIRST EVER DIVISION I MEN'S TOURNAMENT
The Youth Tennis Foundation of Florida, Inc. (YTF) proudly announces that it will sponsor the first ever Division I
Men's Tournament in the State of Florida. Players from all twelve (12) of the Division I teams in the state will send
up to four players to compete in the event, which will take place from September 23-25, 2011 at Florida Gulf Coast
University in Ft. Myers. The University of Florida, University of Miami, Florida State University, University of South
Florida, University of Central Florida, University of North Florida, Florida Atlantic, Jacksonville University,
Florida A & M, Stetson College, Bethune-Cookman will join Florida Gulf Coast University in the competition.
The winning player will have his name inscribed on a perpetual trophy, to be called "The Bedford Cup," in honor of the
family who donated money to fund the event. J. Webb Horton, who has coached the FGCU men's team for the last several
years, is the tournament chairman. There will be an "Information Night" on the Saturday, September 24, at which time
junior players who aspire to play tennis in college can meet the coaches and the players and learn more about the
schools and their programs. There is no charge for attending the event but donations to the YTF will be welcomed.
