Magill: Georgia tennis adds top recruit

2009-07-29T09:08:00.002-04:00

The South's No. 1 junior tennis player, James "Bo" Seal of Baylor Prep in Chattanooga, has signed a grant-in-aid with Georgia.

"We are excited to get Bo Seal," Georgia coach Manuel Diaz said Tuesday. He will enter school in January and make his Bulldog debut in the SEC Indoor tourney in Atlanta Jan. 15-18.

Incidentally, Seal's coach at Baylor was Philip Johnson, a star on Georgia's 1985 and 1987 NCAA championship teams and a native of Dalton, not far from Chattanooga.

Bo Seal will be Georgia's second player with the nickname of "Bo," following in the footsteps of native Athenian, Boukedes "Bo" Hodges, a four-time All-American (2001-04).

Five former Baylor Prep players have lettered at Georgia: Comer Hobbs, 1961-62; Martin Kilpatrick, 1967-70; Tony Ortiz, 1968; David Dick, 1973-76 (captain); and Wesley Cash, 1976-79 (captain).

Seal is a Chattanooga native and this past summer defeated Drake Bernstein - the No. 5 singles player on Georgia's team this past season - in the Tennessee Valley Tournament in Chattanooga.

Next week, Seal will play the No. 1 singles position for the Southern Junior Davis Cup team in a sectional tournament at Champagne, Ill., leading up to the finals the following week at Kalamazoo, Mich.

Georgia assistant coach Will Glenn is in his second year as coach of the Southern Junior Davis Cup team.

"I'm looking forward to coaching Seal the next two weeks," Glenn said Tuesday. "He'll also play No. 1 doubles with Nathan Pasha of Atlanta, who is only 16 years old."

Seal is expected to very much strengthen Georgia's 2010 team, which will host the NCAA championships at Henry Feild Stadium next May, and seek its seventh NCAA team title, having previously won in 1985, 1987, 1999, 2001, 2007 and 2008.

Will Glenn Tennis Camp Summer 09 Day 4

2009-07-09T22:04:00.002-04:00

Today at camp we played the singles tournament - everyone got to put into practice all of the skills we worked on this week. There were many campers that showed great improvement in their game, especially with their volleys.

The guys also got a crack at beating the counselors at 3 on 3 tennis and believe it or not, they won a few and earned the chance to celebrate by messing with the counselors.

Tonight we ate dinner together at the dorm before heading out to the movies where most of the guys selected Transformers and some went to see The Proposal. We just got back and had a great time.

Tomorrow we will finish up our week of camp with the finals of the doubles tournament and other fun games before our awards ceremony - I look forward to seeing you there.

Go Dawgs!
Coach Glenn

Will Glenn Tennis Camp Summer 09 Day 3

2009-07-08T21:21:00.003-04:00

Today's clouds gave us a little cooler weather for some great tennis. We worked a lot on our transition game - coming to the net with approach shots.

We played the team tournament - Georgia v. Bulldog. Team Bulldog was able to pull off a narrow victory in the end. Each player fought well and exhibited great skills they have developed this week.

Tonight we met up to play Capture the Flag where an epic battle ensured. Teamwork was key on both sides and in the end, counselors Doug and Matt lead their team to victory.

Another great day!

Go Dawgs,
Coach Glenn

Will Glenn Tennis Camp Summer 09 Day 2

2009-07-07T22:01:00.005-04:00

We started out the day with sunny weather and volley drills. They guys were dragging a bit because they stayed up late hanging out at the dorms but they geared up as soon as we got going with tennis.

As the rain started, we went inside to the Georgia players' lounge and watched a video on doubles movements and positioning featuring some of the UGA players. Then we moved to the indoor courts and worked on doubles strategies and point play. The guys were able to use what they learned in the first and second round of the doubles tournament that we played tonight - one day early than originally scheduled because the weather left the practice football fields too wet to play Capture the Flag - we'll save that for tomorrow!

A highlight of the day for the campers was spending some time with College Tennis Legend Dan Magill known for his tenure as a sports reporter, sports information director, coach and curator of the Dan Magill ITA Collegiate Hall of Fame. He toured the guys around the Hall of Fame located right at the UGA courts and spent some time with us telling great stories.

The dining halls were especially busy today with new freshmen in for orientation.

Go Dawgs!
Coach Glenn

Will Glenn Tennis Camp Summer 09 Day 1

2009-07-06T21:21:00.006-04:00

Today was a first great day of camp! After registration, we went right to work on cross court patterns and depth, completing lots of drills. From there we went into strategy sessions.

We played doubles and learned about the best positions to be in when you are the off man on the court.

The rain held off of us today and the crew and I enjoyed a pizza dinner.

By the end of the day, the players got to know each other through fun and games including "around the state" and "tennis baseball." It should be a great week and I look forward to sharing it with you. We have a fun crew of players and excellent counselors - Doug, Matt and Marco.

Be sure to check back for daily photos and the rundown.

Go Dawgs!

Holiday Tennis Camps - December '08

Coach Glenn Heads Down Under for the Austrailian Open

2008-12-11T13:34:00.006-05:00

Former Georgia standout John Isner has invited his former college coach Will Glenn to coach him at the Asian Pacific major.

According to an article by Dan Magill published this week in the Athens Banner-Herald, "I invited Will to be my coach for two weeks in Australia," Isner said. "We'll leave the U.S. Dec. 29 and I'll play in an ATP tournament at Brisbane Jan. 4-5, followed by the Australian Open at Melbourne. Will will scout my opponents and get me 'psychologically set' for my matches."

Glenn, former Athens Academy star, was a four-year letterman at Georgia under coach Manuel Diaz. As a freshman, he was a member of the 1999 NCAA championship team. He redshirted in 2001 following a knee injury, and co- captained the 2003 team with Nicolas Boeker.

Glenn became assistant coach in 2006 and was named associate head coach earlier this year. The Bulldogs have won the NCAA team crown in 2007 and 2008.

Glenn and Isner head to Australia December 29 following Glenn's Holiday Camp that takes place Saturday, December 20 at the UGA Courts.

Day Four: Wednesday, July 3, 2008

2008-07-02T23:08:00.002-04:00

Hi Everyone,
We had another good day today. We played our big singles tournament up to the finals and had a lot of good matches.
It was hot today but the boys hung in there and did well.

We ended the day of tennis with a game of "the wave" and a gigantic tennis ball pyramid constructed by the Red Group led by Coach Will Campbell.

After the tournament, we had dinner (Arby's delivered) and headed to Beechwood Cinemas to watch a movie. Most guys chose Wall-e while some watched The Hulk or Get Smart.

Tomorrow we look forward to the finals of the singles and doubles tournament and wrapping up a great week of tennis. We'll see everyone for the awards ceremony at 11:00 am.

Go Dawgs!
Coach Will Glenn

Day Three: Tuesday, July 1, 2008

2008-07-01T17:32:00.004-04:00

Just got off the courts with all of the campers. We had a great day and the weather was so nice - not too hot even for the first day of July.

Today we worked on a lot of match play situations and tried to put into action all of the patterns we have discussed throughout camp. We had some fun competition between Team Georgia and Team Bulldog. What a great battle! In the end Team Georgia was able to pull it out but there was great effort on the part of both teams.

Tonight we are holding our doubles tournament. It will be a good time I'm sure.

(Matt Anthony and Andy Culley share a laugh in between play)

Day Two: Monday, June 30, 2008

2008-06-30T21:57:00.000-04:00

We just got back from a fun filled day capped off with an exciting game of Capture the Flag at the UGA Intramural Fields on campus. It was the younger kids and the counselors v. the older kids and after a major battle, it looks like the younger kids and counselors just showed too much heart and were able to take down the older kids.

Today in camp we concentrated on volleys and groundies while learning about the mental side of the game watching a few minutes of coverage of Wimbledon and videos of Georgia Tennis in order to better understand patterns and correct shot selection.

For lunch, the campers headed to Bolton Dining Hall which everyone seemed to enjoy.

Tomorrow afternoon and evening we will hold the team and doubles tournament and there is sure to be some great competition. I look forward to keep you posted on those results.

All in all a great day....Go Dawgs!

Day One: Sunday, June 29, 2008

2008-06-29T23:39:00.000-04:00

Hi Everyone!

Here's a recap of today's events.

After registration and all of the campers got settled at Lipscomb Hall they returned to the Dan Magill Tennis Complex and watched a demonstration from two of UGA's top players and two-time National Champions Christian Vitulli from Mombasa, Kenya and Jamie Hunt from San Antonio, Texas. The pair demonstrated height and depth on the ball, foot work and proper spin on the ball.

From there, the campers broke into their groups and began to work on drills focusing on forehand and backhand ground strokes.

Just after 5:00, we broke for dinner and ate Papa John's pizza and powerade.

Next the counselors led the campers in some more drills then some fun games to round out the evening. The group walked back to the dorm just ahead of a big thunderstorm (Athens is still in a severe drought so we were glad to see the rain.) Tomorrow campers will be riding in style in the UGA vans.

Have a great evening and Go Dawgs!
Coach Will Glenn

UGA Men's Tennis: The 07-08 Season

2008-06-28T17:19:00.001-04:00

Welcome to the Will Glenn Tennis Camp! I'm so excited to have you here for the week.
At camp, we are going to focus on tennis fundamentals, team work and personal development - many of the same things that the Georgia Men's Tennis Team focuses on throughout our season.

All of our hard work paid off this year and we were able to capture the regular season SEC Conference title and then go on to win the National Championship - a very exciting year!

One of the most exciting things that came out of the "big win" was a trip to the White House where the President of the United States hosted National Champions Day. We were fortunate to make the return trip and be honored along with other teams from across the country. Here is our photo with the President.

I look forward to using this blog to keep campers and their parents up to date with what we are up to this week. I plan to post each evening and I'll even try to include some photos so be sure to check back with all of the latest from camp!

Thanks for coming and Go Dawgs!

Coach Will Glenn
