Summer Camps and Upcoming Tournament
Hello Members
As we approach the end of the school year, it can only mean a couple things;
Warmer weather and summer camps. At this time of year, add a few things to your tennis bag to help you deal with the heat. We should all carry sunscreen, extra water bottle, sun hats, extra towels and maybe an extra shirt. A quick reminder to all, that we have installed a water bottle filler to our water fountain by court 6 . This upcoming week is the last week of school and our sports and tennis camps will begin the following on June 11th. This means that court 4 & 5 will be reserved from 10-1 for sports camp. So reserve your courts early...
June also coincides with the USTA mixed and 55 & over seasons. We have the following divisions:
Women’s 55 & Over 6.0, 7.0
Men’s 55 & Over 7.0, 8.0, 9.0(combined)
Mixed 7.0, 8.0
Last Weekend was Memorial Day weekend and La Madrona hosted a little impromptu tennis tournament. Well! It was a success with slightly over 50 players and 48 matches played on Monday in between 9-4. WOW! Thank you to all of you that participated. It was a lot of fun to see the courts so busy. If you liked it, go put your comments on some pics of the event on Facebook.
Finally, with last weeks tournament being such a success, we will have a mixed tournament on July 21st and 22nd. Mark your calendars and start looking for a partner. Divisions will be Mixed 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, open (9.5max). Look for registration to open on June 15. That’s it for now...
As Always, feel free to contact me with any suggestions and/or comments about your tennis life
at La Madrona. We are always looking for ways to improve.
See you all on the courts
Cheers
Fred

Aquatics Updates
Dear La Madrona Families,
I have an
important announcement to share with you. I have made the decision to
move in a different direction in my career and I will not continue as
the Aquatics Director. This is a decision that I did not easily make,
however, I need to spend more time with my three young children. I will
continue to stay on, as a part time swim Instructor and will help teach
the Pool Guards program as well. It has been a pleasure being the La
Madrona Aquatics Director this past year and I appreciate all of your
support. My replacement will be Heidi Sussman, who has many years of
aquatic experience and is excited to be part of our La Madrona team.

INTRODUCING New Aquatics Director
Hello La Madrona Families,
My name is Heidi Sussman and I am very excited to be your new Aquatics Director.
Just
a little about me. I have a Master of Arts degree in Physical Education
and have been teaching and coaching swimming for over 30 years. I was
and am a nationally ranked swimmer myself. I grew up in the Santa Cruz
area and have organized numerous swim programs in and around this
county. Currently I am also a Masters swim coach at the Simpkins Family
Swim Center in Santa Cruz. I have two teenage daughters who will be
spending lots of time in our pool. Teaching and coaching swimming is my
passion and I look forward to extending the joy of swimming to all of
you. I also look forward to meeting all the La Madrona families.
Happy swimming!
Heidi Sussman
