ROAD TO THE 2003 "LITTLE MO NATIONALS"
by Carol Weyman
The "Road" begins this spring with a "Little Mo" Sectional tournament held in each of the seventeen sections for boys and girls. After the Sectional tournaments have been completed, the eight (8) quarterfinalists from each age division will advance to the "Little Mo" Regionals in the summer. There are four regional "Little Mo" tournament sites: Alpharetta, Georgia (East); Dallas, Texas (South); San Diego, California (West); and Homewood, Illinois (North).

After the completion of the Regional "Little Mo" tournaments, the four (4) semifinalists from each age division will advance to the prestigious "Little Mo" Nationals in Austin, Texas from October 25-27, 2003. The "Little Mo" Nationals will have a prestigious draw of 16 players in each age division and the winner will be crowned "Little Mo" National Champion. The "Little Mo" Nationals is the only event in the country which offers the opportunity for a youngster to become a National Champion in Boys & Girls 8, 9, 10, 11 & under.

The popular "Little Mo" tournament, in its 27th year in Texas, is named in memory of its tennis champion namesake, Maureen Connolly, who was known as "Little Mo". In 1953, she was the first woman to capture the elusive Grand Slam by winning the Australian Championships, French Championships, Wimbledon, and U.S. Championships in the same calendar year. She was only eighteen years old when she accomplished that magnificent feat. From that time on, Maureen was known as the incomparable "Little Mo". This year, we are honoring Maureen for her 50th anniversary of her Grand Slam win (1953-2003). In July 1954, "Little Mo" injured her leg in a horseback riding accident which ended her tennis career.
