FROM THE BASELINE
I think I speak for us all when I say we are thankful for warmer temperatures on our horizon. As we emerge from the harshest winter I’ve been a part of, I know we are all chomping at the bit to get back out onto the courts in a more consistent manner. This spring season is going to be jam packed with tennis. From 14 different USTA leagues, to interclub tennis, to many planned events we can’t wait to get the ball rolling and our racquets swinging! Our continued goal is to have something for everyone and keep these courts rocking. Whether you are new to the game, or you’re a seasoned veteran we plan on having options for every tennis player at the club. We hope to see you all out at the courts and if there is anything we can do to make your time at the club more enjoyable, please do not hesitate to let us know! BECK BOND Director of Tennis
