U.S.A Tennis Trip Margaret Court Tennis

Hello my name is Will Rattray, I am 13 years old. I have been playing tennis since I was 7 years old and currently I play tennis at Margaret Court Tennis Academy, Wodonga, Victoria, Australia. This year in July the academy is offering the opportunity to go to the U.S.A for a tennis tour. The tour goes for a month and takes us all over the West Coast of the U.S.A. There are many benefits to this trip as we are trained by some of the top coaches in the U.S.A and we play in two quality junior tournaments. We also get to check out the University of Nevada to learn about college tennis and future opportunities in securing a scholarship to an American university/collage to play tennis and study and the same time.

I work hard on my tennis, I train four days a week and play in local comps 2 -3 times. I have a passion for the sport that I play and I really want to achieve this opportunity to help me with my future tennis. The whole trip costs around $6000 and I need help to raise around $5000. My parents are supporting me the best they can but have encouraged me to work hard to raise the money for the trip. If you were to participate in helping me I would appreciate it a lot. Also if I get over the amount that is my goal, I would like to donate the additional funds to the Cancer Research. Getting your support by donating means the world to me and helps me to make a dream a reality...

Yours gratefully,


William Rattray
