Viking Athletics is very excited to announce Viking Kid's Day 2003. The event will take place Friday, October 31st at the Chicago Charities Platform Tennis Tournament.

"Viking Kid's Day is going to be a wonderful experience for all the kids that participate in the event. We are thrilled to have such incredible support from the top regional and national teaching professionals and top ranked players for this event. The extent of the player commitment is a testament to what a worthwhile experience Kid's Day is going to be for the participants. The kids will have the opportunity to receive instruction from many of the top instructors and players in the game of platform tennis." Dave Ohlmuller, National Sales Manager, Viking Athletics.

The following Viking Professionals and top players have already committed to participate in the Viking Kid's Day: Mike Rahaley, Mike Marino, Tim Mangan, John Milbank, Scott Mansager, Mary Doten, Lauren Zink, Marina Ohlmuller, Flip Goodspeed, Chris Gambino, Greg Stipa, George Zink. For the most current listing of pros and players participating in this event, see Viking Athletics website, www.VikingAthletics.com.

Viking Kid's Day will take place from 6pm to 9pm at one of the host clubs on the North Shore of Chicago. Complete details will be posted on the Chicago Charities website, as well as on VikingAthletics.com, as soon as the Charities event schedule is finalized.

"Viking Kid's Day is just one more example of Viking's continued commitment to the growth of the game and junior paddle programs. Given our sponsorship of the Viking Cup Child/Adult tournament and the Viking Junior Tour, Viking Kid's Day provides the needed missing link: a non-competitive environment to get children and young adults excited about the wonderful sport of platform tennis." David C. Kjeldsen, CEO, Viking Athletics.

There will also be a one set mixed doubles exhibition between the current Men's National Champions, Dave Ohlmuller and Chris Gambino and the Women's National Champions, Mary Doten and Susie Keane.

Viking will provide food, drinks and favors for all the players, kids and their families. Stay tuned for more details on this exciting event.
