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

2026 Away Trip to AptosWith beautiful coastal weather (high clouds on day 1, clear and warm on day 2), 30 members of SCTC played their hearts out in nearby Aptos. Some players got to experience the thrill of playing on Center Court, surrounded by (empty) bleachers.
Round-robin matches of all types were assigned: same gender, mixed, combo, mixed combo and then even more variety as subs were called in. Bragging rights were won by Nad Karim and Wayne Tsujisaka on the men's side, Mirella Bucci tied with Andrea Gruner for first, and Alison Chandless was right behind them on the women's side. A new prize, in memory of Chuck Smith, was awarded to Jenny Park for notable competitiveness on court AND outstanding sportsmanship. The dinner gala on Saturday night was enjoyed by all.

| Junk to Jewels Equipment DriveThere's been great success in collecting gently used tennis gear! Our contributions:
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 Our opponents won the toss to choose who serves first. They chose to defer the choice to us, and we chose to receive. They then picked the court end they wanted to serve on. Was this right? Answer: Winners of the toss may choose to serve/receive/defer. If the team defers, the opponents choose the court ends OR to serve/receive. If the winners choose initially to receive, the opponents choose the court ends. For more info on correct procedure, consult the USTA Match Rules and Etiquette, posted on our website. 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.
