Net Gains

Outdoor Season Begins

Thanks to an unusually mild winter, Steamboat Springs is serving up an early start to the outdoor tennis and pickleball season! With nets now up and ready for action, players are flocking to the courts to enjoy the sunshine and fresh mountain air.

Adding to the excitement, a new TENNIS COURT DEAL is now in effect! Both indoor and outdoor courts are available for just $20 per hour on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. This special rate is open to everyone, whether you're a Steamboat local or just visiting. It's the perfect opportunity to get some exercise, socialize, and enjoy the beautiful surroundings – all without breaking the bank. Grab your racket or paddle and head down to the courts – game on!

The Steamboat Springs High School girls tennis team has started their season on a high note, showcasing their talent and determination in recent matches.

The team's journey began at the annual Western Slope Open in Grand Junction this past weekend. Despite a rain delay on Friday, the girls made the most of their time on the court, delivering outstanding performances across various brackets. Lucia Del Haya and Abby Del Haya reached the singles finals in the A bracket, demonstrating their skill and teamwork. Dylan Quinn emerged victorious in the singles B bracket, while Lyla Baker and Leslie Jimenez secured the top spot in the A bracket, highlighting the depth of talent within the team.

Following their successful outing in Grand Junction, the girls returned to Steamboat Springs and continued their winning streak with a dominant performance against Ponderosa. The team swept all seven lines in straight sets, displaying their strength and cohesion as a unit.

Please be sure to congratulate our young tennis athletes on their accomplishments and Head Coach Jessica Powell and Assistant Coaches Jason Scicchitano, Karen Connell and James Mac for their leadership and coaching.
