Spring tennis ladder

A multi-week competition where every match could change the standings.

The season began with a live drawing to set the starting order across starter, intermediate, and advanced divisions for singles and doubles. Players then arranged their own matches and kept climbing!

Choose the challenge

Players could challenge someone ranked up to two positions above them.

Win and move up

A victory meant swapping positions and earning a new place on the ladder.

Celebrate the finish

The May 27 closing ceremony recognized everyone’s effort and crowned the award winners!

Fall tennis club

Fundamentals, focused practice, and more ways to learn.

Players worked on forehands, backhands, volleys, and serves while more advanced students continued building on those foundations. Ball machines added variety and gave coaches more opportunities to observe each player.
