Rainout Nov 5

Yesterday's matches were rained out!  We will allow matches to be made up until Tuesday, November 14.  If you cannot play the match before then, please contact Aimee, as Brittney is out of town.  If you were scheduled to play at JHS, Aimee has the key for the lights and we can arrange to turn them on if needed, but ask that you try to play on another court if at all possible.  Please remember that if you split sets, you must play a third set (not a tiebreaker).  Have fun on your last week of play!

PARTY! & lots of other info

Our Summer Party is scheduled for Mon, AUG 13 at 6:00 and will be held at the Country Club.  We will recognize our Summer League Winners and draw partners for our upcoming fall league.



FALL REGISTRATION deadline will be AUG 1.  We  will be FIRM about this deadline to avoid any confusion on the draw date.  Please click the above icon for registration.  Tell your friends who are interested!  It would be nice to have a few fresh faces!

Looking way ahead...We will have our annual tournament on March 3, 2013 (pencil it on your calendar--subject to change) as not to interfere with the Jennings boosters tournament this summer.  Also we would like to have an October Margarita Madness Day of tennis fun!

We are donating balls for the Jennings' boosters tournament and will give $500 to JHS for windscreens.

Jared Lavergne is starting a Men's League in Jennings.  It will be a Flex league, so please be aware that when you reschedule your matches, they could very well be occupied since they are letting us use them on Mon nights.
