 USTA League Update
Moving
day was the weekend of April 20th and the 40 & Over L3.0 and M4.5
teams played their first round of league playoff against Pacific
Athletic Club and Hopkins Park respectively. The men’s team only managed
to win one set and posted a 0 – 3 result; not a happy day! But the
Ladies earned a 2 – 1 team victory and a ticket into District playoffs
in May. Congratulations to Captain Julia Martino on a job well
done! You will have challenges just getting the team to Sacramento, as
I’m sure everyone thought their season was going to end in April! Go
Foothills!
The
18 & Over and 65 & Over leagues are full steam ahead. Ladies 65
looks to be headed for playoffs with a 4th place standing. Men’s 65 is
not so fortunate and needs to run the table! We hope by the next
newsletter the ladies are at Districts and the guys are not “buying T-
shirts.” We
have five teams in the “18’s” and no player within 10 years of that
age! We match up well with area clubs—Alpine, Ladera, University, SCRA,
Circus, and the big membership PAC—but we sure can get pushed around by
the city teams—Palo Alto’s Hopkins, and Mtn View’s Cuesta Park or
Rengstorff. So far our Ladies’ 3.0 and 3.5 teams have had a great start
and are in the top four. The Men’s 4.5, Men’s 4.0, and Ladies’ 4.0 are
having a tough time getting out of the middle of the pack but the season
is young, so we’ll see if we can get everyone off the DL, adjust
doubles teams and get more availability from our go-to players!
Twilight Tennis Mixer & BBQ

Our
April mixer saw a huge turnout, and was a lot of fun. The evenings will
just keep getting warmer in May, so come join the action! All abilities
are invited! The format is mixed doubles, adjusted based on sign ups.
The grills will be ready; bring your main dish and special drinks and
Henry will supply salad and pie.
