Tennis Update

 

League participation at MAC is very strong and growing each year.  Members can play on a wide variety of teams, including both "competitive" and "fun" teams. Coordinating and managing the number of teams and league participants at MAC is challenging and requires significant personnel and court resources.

 

Beginning with the USTA and Suburban Spring seasons, players will be charged a league participation fee of $7.50 for each MAC team that they play on.  If a member plays on multiple teams or in multiple leagues, they will be billed $7.50 for each team they play on. Women's Suburban Spring players will only be charged $3.75 since the 1st half of the season has already passed. Members will be billed as the Tennis Department receives team rosters from each captain.

 

As Winter finally winds down, we are very excited for the outdoor season to begin, and look forward to keeping MAC on top again in 2011.  We have ordered the clay for this year, and intend to get the courts open as early as possible this Spring.  Thank you for your continued support, let's have a great year!

 

Sincerely,

 

Al Thomas
