TENNIS NEWS

Tennis is back in full swing now that the new year has arrived!  We have several things coming up for juniors and adults.  Please mark your calendars for all of these events!!

JCC Adult Winter Challenge (Feb 5-7):  This is a big tournament for all of our adults.  Cost is $30 per person and it is doubles only.  Each player will get a t-shirt, and we will have keg beer for all players over 21. There will also be dips and chips and other goodies Saturday night during which time we will have some featured matches.  Matches will be Friday night, all day Saturday, and Sunday morning so that we can get finished in time for everyone to get to their Super Bowl parties!  Please come out and watch!

Trip To Morgan Keegan Pro Tournament (Feb 17):  We will be taking a group of adults and juniors over to see the pro tournament in Memphis.  We will leave early Wednesday morning and come back late that night, after Andy Roddick’s match at 7pm.  If you are interested in going with us, please call 932-6556 for more information.

JCC One-Day Junior Tennis Tournament (Mar 6):  We will have a team tournament on Saturday just for our juniors.  It will cost $10.  We will pick teams after everyone has signed up.  This will be good practice for all of our juniors, so please make plans for them to play all day Saturday.

JCC Rice Bowl Junior Tournament (Mar 26-28):  Please make plans for your junior to play in this tournament.  It will be a great tournament for all of our juniors to play in and show off their tennis skills.  Juniors must be able to play with real balls and keep score themselves to play in this tournament.  If you are not sure if your junior should play, please ask me.

In addition to the above tennis activities, we are also in full swing with our leagues and USTA team tennis teams.  If you are interested in any of these things, or if you just want to take a few lessons and maybe get started in tennis, please call Gary or Byron at the pro shop, 932-6556.
