COURT CONGESTION Tennis members...so great that Spring has finally arrived! I know many of us are getting back out on the court after a soggy few weeks. Last evening two members showed up and all 5 courts were occupied. This is happening quite frequently in the afternoons and evenings. Did you know that our tennis membership is completely full and now has a waiting list? Did you know that this Spring we are fielding 6 USTA teams instead of our normal 5? Great news is that a lot of people are playing on our beautiful courts! The challenge is that sometimes it may be difficult to get a court. Here are a few suggestions: 1. Try and reserve your court time as soon as you are able. You can call the front desk 4 days ahead of time. 2. See if you can arrange your weekly schedule to fit in a tennis game at off peak times. There are almost always courts available on weekdays between 1pm and 3pm. 3. Be extra flexible and courteous to other tennis members and their guests if a court conflict comes up. NEW!!! Tennis Challenge Court Begins Friday, April 29: When: Every Friday from 3pm-7pm; come any time and stay for as long as you can Where: Court 3 What: Men's, Women's, and Mixed Doubles for any level! Who: Organized and Run by PCC Tennis Staff WELCOME... Julio Hermosillo As our tennis membership has grown so has the demand for more lessons and junior program coaches.

We've been having so much fun! The kids who couldn't hit a ball at the beginning are starting to be able to not only hit it, but hit it in the court! And the older kids are now playing across the big net on a modified size court. It's so much fun to watch these kids having rallies and playing real tennis without the balls bouncing over their heads. Here are a few pictures to show you the fun... 
TENNIS OUTREACH IN EAST PALO ALTO One of our PCC Coaches, Jose Avalos, will be directing an afterschool tennis program in East Palo Alto at Ravenswood School. This is a super program to introduce tennis to a community of students who would not usually get the opportunity for tennis lessons. The program begins in April and runs Mondays - Fridays from 3:00-6:00. There are a lot of kids and if you are interested in helping out as a volunteer we sure would love that. We will accept any form of help, even if you can just make it down there 1 day. For more information please contact Coach Sid at sidn@wearepcc.com or Coach Jose at coachjose@att.net. NEW WILSON RACQUETS A new line of 2011 Wilson racquets are hanging up by the front desk! If you are looking to replace yours, now is the time! We've got new strings in as well...try them out next time you need your strings replaced! |
