try to get a part time job...bakesale, baby sitting..anything as long as its legal...and does your school have a tennis court or something? maybe you can join the tennis club that way you can practice and play at the same time...for free!!!..If thats not an option, then maybe you can tell your dad that you need to focus on school and that you could only go twice a week. that way, he wont really feel guilty..wish all teenagers were like you...:) God Bless You

why not help your parents pay for this by getting a job? at 15, not a lot of places will hire you, but you can baby-sit or house clean, mow lawns, etc. this is a huge money burden on your parents because they know you love it so much and it costs so much to go up there too. you should help out by getting a job, and if you can't, just ask your parents if you can help out around the house more to show them how much you appreciate their doing this for you.

at least you are thinking about the cost. if you want to feel better about it you should get a summer job/very part time and help pay for it.

That is pretty expensive, if it sithe friends that you are going to miss you can always see them off the court. Try the YMCA, some of them have courts.
