Ladders

We are restarting the singles ladders this month.  The leaders of each of the Men’s and Women’s ladders will have their own designated parking place to tout to the other members.  The monthly leader of the junior singles ladder will receive a half-hour lesson with Doug at no charge.  Get your singles game going and join the ladder today.

Player to Watch

This month’s player to watch is T.J. Van Dam.  T. J. played #1 singles and doubles at Lewis Middle School.  He has recently started to enter more USTA sanctioned tournaments, making the finals of the R. P. Sloan Claypit Championships in Pensacola last month.  T. J. has improved dramatically this past year, thanks to a lot of hard work; and he is definitely worthy of watching.
