Welcome to the February 2010 ACTA Newsletter, here’s what’s going on. More information is available on the website.
Events:
February Tennis Social - Friday February 19, 2010. The event will feature a potluck dinner, a round robin tournament, refreshments and fun for all. This is another fun free event brought to you by the ACTA. It’s free but you’ll need to pre-register. Reply to Mark Stotlar mstotlar@comcast.net if you need more information about any event.
Racquet Solutions will be hosting a Demo day for ACTA players and friends. The event is tentatively scheduled for Saturday 03/06/2010 at 9:00AM. They will be on hand to demo racquets and other items. Make sure to mark your calendars for this one.
Leagues:
It’s time to sign up for the ACTA 2010 Spring Adult League. The league will run from 03/13/10 to 05/08/10, with a break for 04/03(Easter Weekend). We’re planning for Men’s, Women’s, and Mixed Doubles in addition to a singles play league. Be sure to sign up early as there are limited slots available due to the number of courts available. The deadline for signups is 02/27/2010.
This league is for players 18 years and older. All abilities are welcome. Each team’s rating must add up to 7.0 or less (e.g. two 3.0 players, two 3.5 players, one 3.0 player and one 4.0 player, one 2.5 player and one 4.5 player). If you play USTA or SATA, use the higher of your USTA or SATA rating. Otherwise, provide a self-rating following NTRP guidelines from the USTA website. Antelope Community Tennis Association will provide new balls and complimentary refreshments each week.
Tip of the month:
Watch your serve. More specifically watch your toss. Watch the ball all the way until contact. Practice hitting your serve at the correct position and think your wrist action. Are you trying to hit a flat, spin or kick serve?
The ACTA is moving! We’re moving our email services to a different application. Starting this week you’ll see emails coming from antelopetennis@gmail.com. This is a start to bringing you better content and online services like league and tournament signups via the internet. We appreciate your patience. Suggestions and volunteers are always accepted.
Until next month, see you on the courts.
