A Mother's lament: So I asked myself, "Self, why do kids get in on all the fun? Where did my childhood of sports go? Why did it disappear? Can I get it back. Yes, came the resounding response, and a tennis group of fun loving adults is the answer." Then I asked myself again, "Self, what are the benefits?" And self emphatically quoted the following poem:
"Get out of the kitchen get out of the den. Leave the house and make new friends. Learn new skills, quit taking those pills. Life's passing by so go after those thrills."
Let the games begin.
We currently have a USTA 3.0 ladies team of 12 players. The competitive season lasts 4 months from Feb to the 1st part of June, which means we compete an average of every 2 weeks on week-ends. We compete with several indoor clubs in the Portland/Vancouver area. The comaraderie is wonderful and the food superb.
If you want to form your own team talk to Jim this week. We are hoping to form two more teams by October 2016: a ladies 2.5 teamand a men's 3.0 team. If you are interested call Jim ASAP at: (503) 658-3850)
