It's great to see the tremendous energy and enthusiasm on the tennis courts! League matches have begun, and our B1, B2 and B3 teams have all posted wins to start the season. Combo teams captained by Jennifer Sauld and Jessica Haessler have won their local flights and are advancing to playoffs. Junior Team tennis matches for ages 10-14 will be starting soon. In short, we're off to a great start this indoor season and I anticipate a busy fall and winter. Looking forward to seeing you on the courts! |
