Join us on the courtsTuesday, March 28th at 1:00-3:30 PM for an afternoon of exciting activity planned by our Villages Tennis Professional, Brett Foreman. He describes it as “Tennis Olympics with a Carnival Theme.” Not sure if there will be medals or stuffed animals!

There will be prizes, games and the traditional strawberry shortcake!!! No reservations required. Questions: Call Harry Soin (harrysoin@gmail.com) or Nancy Spisar (nancy.spisar@gmail.com)
Jump Start kicks off at the Tennis Club Open House. Thanks to our Villager “experts” Gail & Mike Tuft, Jim Murphy and Peggy Siedel who are returning to help you learn and improve your strokes. They are some of the best players in our club and have a wealth of information to share with you. Jump Start will meet on successive Tuesday afternoons beginning April 4th for 10 weeks at 5:00-6:00 PM. Don’t have a racquet? No worry, we have racquets donated by our members and would love to give you one. This is a wonderful opportunity to learn, meet others at your playing level and … all free of cost!
