Special thanks to our wonderful staff for getting the information to our patrons and servicing their needs with a smile and the courtesy they deserve... Now, ON TO THE NEWS!!!
JUNIOR NEWS: Junior Team Tennis started off with a big bang this weekend with our Under 12 beginner and intermediate teams playing, as well as our Under 18 intermediate team. The Under 12 intermediate team, coached by our own assistant pro Jon Bongiovanni, faced a strong DB team and lost a very close match on Saturday. You'll get 'em next time team! Next match is this Saturday at 1pm at Jonesville Tennis Center so come and check this young stars out!
Our newly formed Under 12 beginner team and Under 18 intermediate teams began their inaugural seasons in the JTT league with huge wins! The under 12 team played a young but scrappy DB team, but when the dust settled, the kids from westside pulled out the win! Good Job by everyone.. Kudos to Robert Taylor and Skip Deist for coaching this young team! Next match is this Sunday at 4pm at Westside Park. Come and support these young players and cheer them on to victory!
Finally, the under 18 intermediate team played against a very evenly matched DB team.. The doubles courts split with David Liu and Reid Wilson winning a close match 8-5 and the team of Paula Fraisse and Laura Lee Pack playing their hearts out, but falling 8-4 to a solid team. It came down to the singles courts, where Zach Dowd and Kyle Koski played and won both matches. Great win to get the season on the right foot! Coach Robert Taylor believes that this team will learn from each other and grow not only as a team, but their court awareness and strategy will improve as the season progresses... Next match for this team is this Sunday at 5pm at the 300 Club. Come support our teams!
