The Villager April 18, 2025 publication

Spring brings great tennis weather. Our next club tournament will be the charity Scholarship tournament for Silver Creek High School tennis teams. The NEW date is Saturday, May 10. Jim Ferguson is the chairman for this 21st year. Keep watching your emails for more information and be sure to register for this fun tournament.
The Women’s USTA 65+7.0 team had 4 matches the week of April 7 due to all of the rainouts. I am happy to report the Villages won 3 and are about to play their final match today, Friday, April 11 at home against Courtside Bay Club. I hope we have lots of villagers cheering in the viewing stand.
The Men’s USTA 55+ 7.0 team is in the middle of their season and are having success. Come and see and cheer your team. Their next home match is Wednesday, April 23 at 4:30pm.
In addition, we have the VTL half way done with 3 villages teams playing each other. All levels are participating and fun to watch. All matches are at 1:30pm, so hoping the weather cooperates and doesn’t get too hot.
And lastly, the Jump Start program had their first lesson on Tuesday, April 8 and will continue every Tuesday at 5:00-6:00pm for 9 more weeks. These lessons are free to any club member wishing to brush up on their skills and is taught by volunteers by some of our best players: Gail and Mike Tuft, Roy Pennington, Peggy Seidel and Sherry Benz. It is not too late to join. If interested, contact Sherry Benz, 408-887-5497 or sabenz@sbcglobal.net
