So notice what’s going on in the summer schedule, see below. We’ve added new events and re-scheduled existing events to the evenings to combat the summer heat. There’s beginner-level NPU on Mondays; ABCD Round Robin on Wednesdays; Skinny Singles, Ball Machine training, and Beginner Lessons on Thursdays. All these are at 7-9PM. Pretty full schedule for the off-season
Reminders … sign up in the Den every time you play; pick up loose ends, balls into their holders, fans turned off, when you leave the courts.
