Welcome Back Guests

Tennis Update

Hello Members

October here we come! I cannot believe we are in October. As we enter this first month of fall, I hope this finds you well even amidst an ongoing pandemic, an unusual work and/or school schedule, a fire recovery or whatever 2020 issues you might be facing. To say the least, the past few months have kept us on our toes and there's never been a better moment to exercise. The benefits of exercise have never been more important to all of us. Whether you like yoga, swimming, jogging or, of course, playing tennis just get outside and move. I have to admit that I have a bias towards tennis and if you do to, keep on reading, we have some good news for all tennis players.

Where to start? We are aware that some organized tennis has been missing from our programming and is long overdue. And, for that, we would like to apologize to everyone. Our tennis department now find itself in a better position to bring back some of our clinics and even offer some new opportunities to play tennis. Here's a brief list of what we are working on at the moment.

Saturday mixers, coming back on October 10 at its usual time 9-11am.
Co-ed Single and doubles ladder (email me if interested at [email protected]) we hope to get it started in the next few weeks.
La Madrona combo/mixed league (all levels- will split into groups) to start mid-October. Register here if interested: https://tennisfolder.com/la-madrona-leagues/
Monday Pickleball 11-1230 on Mondays starting on October 14
Friday Series Tennis Training with Dave 9-10:30 on Fridays starting October 9th
Additional morning & evening clinics with Jimmy Soper & Fred will be announced soon
Beginners evening clinic start date to be announced

We are very busy finalizing the details of everything but we are working hard to bring you more opportunities to hit the courts. If there is something else you would like to see, please let us know and we will try to make it happen.

In the meantime, we sure hope tennis is offering you a chance to forget about 2020 for a few hours while you are on the courts. We are always here to help you with any of your tennis needs so don't be a stranger and come talk, even if just for a little hello on the courts.

See you all on the courts

Cheers
Fred

Aquatic Update

Fall has been nothing short of what we have come to expect from 2020. But we are in the midst of junior programming and, even though, with a setback from the CZU fire, finally back on track! This is the first time we have offered fall junior guards and both sessions are full with waitlists. As is our water polo program. We are happy to say that it has been a pleasure offering programming for kids during this unprecedented time.

Holiday swim team will be offered for members only 11/9-12/18. Registration to open Tuesday, October 13th. Coach Carly is off to Russia in January to teach english to elementary school children. Her love is water polo and it certainly showed through her coaching. We will miss her and wish her the best of luck abroad. As always, if you have any questions about junior aquatics programming, please email [email protected] for a prompt reply.

Happy Fall!!
Shaena Strubing
