Elijah Chadwell:
Elijah Chadwell loves tennis. We try to play tennis at least a few minutes every day. Sometimes we just pour out a basket of balls and practice chasing and picking them up. At a little over three years old Elijah can already hit the ball over the net by himself. We are always working on agility, coordination and striking skills in a fun games based setting, It is simply music to my ears to hear the words: "I want to go to the tennis center, I want to play tennis with you, daddy...' Elijah's other favorite hobbies include fishing, golf, and reading. Check out Elijah's Blog.

Connor is Coach Sam's stepson, He's helping Elijah with his forehand in the photo to the right. Connor is currently a sophomore at Columbia High School and plays for the Roughneck tennis team. Connor's other hobbies include running and working out in the gym.
