Spring Events
|
Sunday April 26th
A Success! We had roughly 20-25 Members join in to prepping the tennis courts. This included putting up all the court wind screens, scraping and cleaning the court surfaces rolling and sweeping , clearing debris. and pulling out all the tennis equipment that was stored all winter. It took several hours but the courts look great and this could not have been accomplished without the significant contribution from all those involved. Many Many Thanks for help. |

Sunday Learn to Play
Spring is a great time to learn and play paddle given the warmer temps and a lively ball that keeps the rally going.
These four (4) Sunday sessions will be geared toward newer players that want to work on the Five Key Shots of Paddle and get a bit more practice. Great for folks who play tennis -or- other racquet sports and would like a more structured intro to paddle. Participants can then choose to stick around for the Sunday Mixed Social that starts at 3pm. Dates provided on the new sign up shee
