Statement from Georgetown Prep president below:
Marco Impeduglia, owner of TennisTopia and founder of ProsToYou Tennis, is excited to announce a partnership with Georgetown Preparatory School and the Georgetown Prep Tennis Club. Below is a message from the President of Georgetown Preparatory School.
For further information and registration regarding Georgetown Prep Tennis Programs starting December 2024, please contact Marco Impeduglia at Marco@GPrepTennis.com
Dear Members of the Georgetown Prep Community,
In 1992 Georgetown Preparatory School contracted with Service Line, Inc., which provided a first-class, indoor, on-campus, clay-court tennis program serving the local community for 32 seasons now. With our contract with Service Line, Inc. coming to an end in December 2024, we want to extend our heartfelt appreciation to owners John and Sue Adams for their partnership and significant contributions to the Georgetown Prep Tennis community.
Over the past few months, Georgetown Prep conducted a thorough Request for Proposal (RFP) process, assessing several proposals by considering factors such as experience, qualifications, programming, finances, and alignment with Prep’s educational mission.
Today Georgetown Prep is excited to announce a new partnership regarding the future operation of the tennis facility with the goal of continuing to operate a year-round tennis program, including an indoor facility on a seasonal basis that will serve our student-athletes as well as the Tennis Club members. Marco Impeduglia, Georgetown Prep Class of 2005, is the founder and owner of ProsToYou Tennis and TennisTopia. He will be assuming the role of Operator of the Georgetown Prep Tennis Club. Under Marco's visionary leadership, the tennis club is poised to undertake several transformative initiatives rooted in our Jesuit mission and commitment to give back to our local communities.
Marco, in collaboration with Georgetown Prep’s leadership, will continue the tradition of tennis at Prep with a new, state-of-the-art indoor seasonal tennis bubble starting in December 2024. As Marco’s plan states, he and his staff will provide the following services:
Tennis Programming for the Prep Community:
Our goal is to enrich Georgetown Prep's athletic experience by offering complimentary, inclusive tennis clinics, camps, exposure events, and tournaments for faculty, staff, and students. This comprehensive program includes group classes, court time, specialized outings, and discounted rates for group clinics and lessons. Dedicated court time will be allocated for open play, ensuring ample opportunities for participation and skill development.
Georgetown Prep’s Varsity & JV Tennis Teams:
We are committed to supporting Georgetown Prep's student-athletes by providing complimentary year-round developmental programming in alignment with the school's Jesuit mission. This includes covering all costs associated with team uniforms, equipment, coaches stipends, and practice/home match tennis balls for JV and Varsity teams. Additionally, we will organize annual team retreats and community service initiatives to foster academic, athletic, and personal growth.
Collaborations and Partnerships:
We aim to establish Georgetown Prep Tennis Club as a premier tournament destination by partnering with USTA Mid-Atlantic, USTA National, and ITF to host numerous prestigious tournaments, including the Citi Open WildCard Challenge. We will also introduce international summer tennis camps with accommodations, attracting global students and showcasing Georgetown Prep's exceptional facilities. These initiatives will position Georgetown Prep as a hub for tennis excellence and cultural exchange.
Commencing December 2024, Marco and his team are delighted to announce the introduction of an array of new tennis offerings, including personalized lessons, group clinics tailored for juniors and adults, and the seasonal indoor court time in our state-of-the-art tennis bubble over the six clay courts.
With Marco at the helm, the Georgetown Prep Tennis Club is set to embark on an exciting new chapter. His innovative approach and dedication to the community promise to elevate the club's offerings and reinforce its reputation as a leading institution for tennis and pickleball. We look forward to witnessing the positive impact of his leadership on the Georgetown Prep community.
Sincerely,
Rev. James R. Van Dyke, S.J.
President
