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: Drop-Ins do not have reserved courts. Courts may be used for continuous play with players rotating onto courts. However, courts must be yielded to public use, per the 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

USTA COURT QUIZ Our opponents inadvertently switched court sides (deuce and add) and we didn't notice until halfway through our service game. How should this be corrected? Answer: If players have received on the wrong side of the court (add instead of deuce), for either a standard game or in a tiebreak, complete the game as started. The next time they receive, switch back to the correct positions. For more info on correct procedure, consult the USTA Match Rules and Etiquette, posted on our website. WINNING SCORE: LOVE-LOVE Congratulations to Jack Hesotian and Andrea Gruner, who recently celebrated their wedding vows with family and friends. Tennis has been a major part of their love story from the very beginning. We all know tennis is great exercise and lots of fun. Add another plus to its benefits: finding that perfect partner!

To continue receiving this vital newsletter! 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. On the women's side, Mirella Bucci tied with Andrea Gruner for first, and Alison Chandless was right behind them. 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.
