TENNIS UPDATE

Hello Members

I do not know about you but I still feel like we are on a rollercoaster ride. Fortunately, for tennis players, the weather has been nice and for all of us the vaccine seems to bring some hope. And at the same time, I am with all the parents living the nightmare of a return to school yay or nay, hybrid, stay online? What to decide? Rollercoaster and puzzles!

But if we stick to our wonderful club and the tennis life at the club, the courts have never been busier. We see new players every day and a lot of them, kids and adults alike, looking to be more proficient at the game. And that is wonderful! The ball machine is busy with father-daughter, husband-wife, and grandma(pa)-grandkids duo trying to get a few more repetitions in in the hopes of getting better. And all of this tennis buzz creates a nice problem for us in what can we do to make your tennis experience better at the club?

Well for one, we have a thriving junior program with lots of kids ages 5 to 17 working very hard multiple times a week. And starting in April, the Santa Cruz area will have a new junior team tennis league to help our juniors get some match time under their belt. We will have one or two teams at the club competing. We also have an intra mixed league that has over 50 players participating and having a blast every weekend. I hear a lot of great things about our league and because of its success, we are currently working on bringing more opportunities for social and competitive play at the club. Stay tuned!

To keep up with the tennis industry in our area, we are changing our lesson and restringing pricing structure. Changes will be the following;

  • Private lessons will be $70/hr for members and $80 for non-members.
  • Our Restringing labor service will be $20

ALL NEW PRICING WILL BE EFFECTIVE ON APRIL 1st 2021.

Finally, some good news coming our way on the tennis front, CAC is looking at extending the hours of the club to 9pm once again. We are also, as Covid numbers are getting better, looking at allowing guest to return at the club. And to help with our sitting situation on the courts, we have new benches arriving very soon. Anyone would like to have one of the wooden one as an antique or souvenir, let me know. HA!HA!

Well! That's it for now! I am looking forward to seeing you all on the courts.
