DROP-IN TENNIS
SCTC has 4 weekly Drop-In Doubles events. SCTC Drop-Ins are open to the public. Come join us - make new friends - and meet other players of all levels! We need players to serve as coordinators for each of these weekly events. This ensures good rotations and that new players get a full welcome to the club.
Note: Most Drop-Ins do not have reserved courts. Sunday's Drop-In at Burton Park is an exception: SC Parks has granted us 2 courts for continuous play from 8-10am. The third court may be used, but must be yielded to public use. AFter 10am, all courts follow regular park rules for rotation to waiting players.
For general questions about Drop-Ins, and to volunteer to serve as a coordinator, contact Dawn Campbell dropin@sancarlostennis.com

LABOR DAY FUN DAY Sept 7th On a gloriously warm Labor Day, over 40 players hit the courts for round robin play at Carlmont. There were lots of new combinations of players and many familiar faces. Louis Farcich spearheaded a raffle with tables full of interesting prizes, and the lucky winners had plenty of choices. Proceeds (over $500) benefitted the American Cancer Society and Blood Cancer United.

There will be tournament play of mixed and same gender doubles from 10:30am-4:30pm both days. Too much tennis for you? Then bring your paddle and play some pickleball on adjacent courts. Saturday evening will be the gala dinner at Sevy's, a local favorite for good food and lively ambiance.

Great thanks to all for such a successful equipment drive for Second Serve Tennis!!
Many thanks to Ray Choye and Alistair Jeffs for organizing the donation. USTA COURT QUIZ My partner and I noticed in the middle of a game that the opponents had switched receiving deuce - add positions in the middle of a set. We assumed it was a mistake (heat stress?). How should this be corrected? Answer: Complete the game as started, for both standard games and tiebreakers. The next time they receive, switch back to the correct positions. For more info on correcting regulation errors, consult the USTA Match Rules and Etiquette, posted on our website. |
Many thanks to Maggi Willard and her team for organizing this classic event.
