The Snohomish Summer Smash presented by Gaffney Construction, a four-day tournament for high school players ages 14-18, returns to the Snohomish High School Tennis Courts July 20 - 23, 2023.

Registration costs are $35 for Singles players and $50 for Doubles and Mixed Doubles teams, with proceeds going to the Snohomish High School tennis programs. A record number of players turned out for the tournament last year, with 160 competitors representing over 30 high schools.

Tournament Director Kraig Norris, in conjunction with the Snohomish High School coaches, formed the tournament in 2015 to counter the lack of competitive options for players who aren’t registered with the US Tennis Association. 

Working with tennis clubs and high schools throughout the region, Norris said the feedback he’s received from coaches and players is one of excitement at this opportunity to compete.

Registration deadline for the tournament is July 11th, and players interested in participating can go to snohomishsummersmash.com for a printable registration form, or to register online.
