 Foothills Court Construction
Refurbishment of all courts starts August 9 and ends in mid to late October.
Please check out this list
of local courts to keep up your game until we can get back onto our
new courts in the fall!
Fall Tennis Lesson Changes
Susan is teaching at SCRA, Jeff is on vacation, and I will be doing rehab after I have both knees replaced
on Aug 23rd at Stanford. I plan to be back on court before our courts
are ready in October!
USTA League Update
The
Men’s 4.5 team is on to the districts. They defeated a Palo Alto team
5-0 in the semis and Cuesta Park 4-1 in the finals. The District
playoffs are at Sunnyvale the weekend of Aug 14th. Play well! Our next
league season will be for seniors and will start in late September and
play into March 2011. Our courts will not ready in mid October, so I
will request that we play away matches early and at home later. We will
field teams in Ladies 3.4, 4.0 and Men’s 3.5, 4.0 & 4.5. If we have
enough players, I will try for 3.0 teams!
4th of July Tennis
We
had a rolling number of players filling all the courts. Our Pros vs
Coaches event went as predicted with Henry and Jeff handling Dan Ugarte
and Paige Keating. Next year the coaches will be in more trouble from us,
as I will have new hi-tech knees! I’ll probably need them if Paige
keeps improving at the rate she’s going!
Junior Singles Championships
We
had three flights this year. All match play was round robin 2 sets and
match tie- breaker in the boys over 14 division and 9 game pro set in
the boys 12 & 10 flights. Our flight winners were Chasen Chacon (boys over 14), Mark Ball (boys 12) and Tyler Foug (boys 10).
Adult Singles Championships
We had three flights this year, Ladies 3.5, Men’s 4.0 & 4.5. The ladies event was won by Julia Foug who defeated Carole Borie and Sonya DeAngelis. In the men’s 4.5 flight Jacco Draaijer
defeated Howie Pearson. The men’s 4.0 is still to be resolved. Next
year I hope to have more ladies and I will add a senior division, so I
can play!
