The Tennis Committee met on Friday, July 2, 2021 to finalize the rules and regulations for the courts. The Tennis building will open on Thursday, July 8th after a thorough cleaning. There are some tennis rackets and balls in the tennis building for those of you that just want to try out the sport. Jarrod Epkey is scheduling introductory and beginner lessons along with lessons for those experienced tennis players that want to hone their game. The courts will open at 8 a.m. daily. Ethan will be cleaning, sweeping and rolling the courts. The courts will close from 12 noon to 1 p.m. for maintenance and then at 8:30 p.m. The clay courts require additional care with watering, sweeping and rolling, so it is necessary to close the courts at times during the day.
