Hi all,

The courts are ready and , yes, soon the rain will stop and summer tennis will begin at MRTC.

At this point Lee Delfausse is organizing clinics on Mondays with an 11:00-12:30 strategy clinic and a 12:30-2:00 technique clinic.

Remember she can only take 8 in each clinic.

She will create a sub list and also accommodate those who want other group instruction.

Please text Lee to join. (802-793-1962)

Strategy Clinic Mondays 11:00-12:30

This will be a high intensity, progressive clinic for those who want to work on formations, running, footwork, fitness, advanced stroke production such as slice, drop shots and lob volleys, placement and competitive play. The clinic will offer progressive lessons that build on each other, so it is recommended that participants attend as many as possible. I’ll teach four 4 week sessions beginning June 2-30, July 7-28, August 4-25, and Sept 1-22.

Please text Lee (802-793-1962) to join as there will be only 8 players in each clinic.
This clinic is filling fast.

Technique Clinic Mondays 12:30-2:00

This will be a less intensive clinic for those who want to perfect strokes: topspin, slices, lobs, drop shots, volleys and serves. I’ll teach four 4 week sessions (4 clinics each) beginning June 2-30, July 7-28, August 4-25, and Sept 1-22.

Please text Lee (802-793-1962) to join 8 players. You do not have to commit to any number of clinics.


If there is a demand, she will offer (of course, organized by members) a more introductory group lesson for those who can’t attend on a regular basis.

Please text Lee (802-793-1962) if interested.

Private lessons will also be available.

For group clinics the charge remains $25 per clinic.

Triples on last Fridays of the month 4:00-5:30
We will plan on triples (first come, first served, sign up with Lee) on June 27, July 25, August 29. There will be a potluck at a home TBD after each triples.

Team Match
The Burlington Tennis Club has offered to host a mixed MRTC team for 3.0+ players on August 10 from 2-4 pm. Just a chance for us to have fun, travel and play against another group.

Exhibitions

Hello Tennis Friends,

The tournament and social will be Sunday, as Saturday’s forecast was not looking good. Play will be from 9am to 1pm followed by an afternoon social. Since we’ll likely be hungry for lunch, we’ll take a break in play and the two finalist teams will be given flexibility as to when they wish to start; estimated match time is 2:15pm. Stop by to cheer and bring a dish to share if inclined.

Dar and Woody

Updated Friday 8/30.

Hi All,

If you are interested in entering a team for the tournament, please do so by end of Wednesday. Please refer to guidelines and email address to connect with both Woody and me in the original post, https://www.madrivertennis.com/labor-day-weekend-2024/.

We have six teams entered, so we’ll take a few more and keep it to one day, Saturday Sunday, due to poor forecast for Saturday.

We’ll be back in touch Thursday evening (or Friday) with team and scheduling details.

All members are welcome to the late afternoon championship match(es) and potluck social gathering. We hope to see you and celebrate tennis!

Dar and Woody
