The 48th edition of the Marin Championships will take center stage June 4-9 thanks to support from the county’s dedicated tennis community.

The tournament is expected to draw players from throughout the nation who will be coming to Marin in hopes of earning points toward national rankings. The Marin Championships have been elevated to a Level 2 National event this year.

Costamagna has led both the Branson School boys and girls tennis teams to MCAL and North Coast Section championships. She has been tournament director for the Marin Championships since 2015.

Other host clubs include The Club at Harbor Point and Scott Valley Swimming and Tennis Club, both in Mill Valley.
