HOA Reminders

Park Improvements Update You may have noticed some work going on at each of the parks in our community. It has taken a little longer then expected, but rest assured that everything is in the works! If sod has not been installed at the new park (off of Meadow Marsh Dr), it will be shortly. Please try to have children use the trails/walkways as much as possible during the first 2 – 3 weeks of the sod being installed. The grass will be very wet during this time.

A HUGE thank you to all who volunteered to help install the pavilion at the new park off of Meadow Marsh Dr. You guys are amazing!!!

- The monthly HOA Board Meetings are typically held on the third Tuesday of each month. Please check the calendar on http://www.springcreek-hoa.com/events.html to verify the date and location.

- Remember that front yards must be installed within 6 months of breaking ground on your new home. Front yards must be sod (pre-cut pieces) only, with an automatic sprinkler system. Vinyl fences must be tan in color. Please visit the resources page on the HOA website for links with detailed information.

- Monthly statements can be emailed (contact K&R) - HOA dues can be paid via ACH drafting (contact K&R).

You have the option to pay monthly or yearly. If you’re able to do so, paying yearly provides the HOA with more operating funds to complete projects throughout the community sooner rather than later.

- No gravel driveways or “horse fences” permitted. Those currently in existence must be converted to landscaping/concrete or the fencing must be removed by September 1, 2014.

- When you take your pet for walks in the neighborhood, please remember to pick up after them. There are two new dogipot stations (dog waste removal systems) located along the walking trails.

TENNIS TIPS

By USPTA/PTR Master Professional Fernando Velasco

How To Execute The High Volley Approach Shot In previous newsletters, I offered tips on how to hit a forehand groundstroke, a two-handed backhand, one-handed backhand, forehand volley, the two handed backhand volley, the serve, the forehand half-volley, the one-handed backhand volley, the overhead “smash”, the forehand service return and the backhand service return.

In this issue, I will offer you instructions on how to execute the forehand high approach shot. This shot is used when a player is caught in “no-person’s land” (around the service line area) and receives a high ball to volley. The important part of this shot is to be able to hit a deep volley to the feet of the opponents and/or to hit a deep volley close to the baseline, so the opponent is put in a defensive mode and hits a softer ball so the player can now move closer to the net for the “killer or placement volley”. In the illustrations, Kathy Smith, a player at the Grey Rock Tennis Club, shows the proper technique to execute this stroke. Photos

by Charlie Palafox.

Step 1: The Ready Position and Split Step: When Kathy realizes that she is caught in “no-person’s land”, she takes the split step by bending the knees and staying on her toes. Her racket is in the volley position and her feet are angled toward the path of the incoming ball.

Step 2: The Back Swing: Once Kathy realizes that the ball has been directed to her forehand, she will turn her upper body and will take the racket slightly back. Notice that the left hand is up in front to allow her to keep her center of gravity in the center. She has loaded her weight on her right foot and will be ready to step forward to meet the ball.

Step 3: The Point of Contact: Kathy now is ready to step into the ball. She has kept her eye on the ball and her center of gravity now is shifted to the point of contact. Notice the left toe pointing to the ball meeting the racket. The face of the racket is open to allow her to hit behind the ball and allow maximum net height and allow her to hit the ball deep.

Step 4: The Follow Through: Once Kathy has made contact with the ball, she finishes the follow through with her wrist laid back. Her left arm is next to her body and her eyes have shifted toward her target.

Step 5: The Move for the Kill Volley: As the ball is headed toward her opponent and Kathy realizes that her shot it deep, now she moves close to the net for the put away volley. If her shot was not deep, Kathy will decide to stay close to the service line to protect the lob over her head. By the look in her eyes and her smile, she is ready to go for the “kill volley”.
