This weekend’s rain and wind forecast is messing with our tennis plans!

Due to the forecast, we will be postponing this weekend’s events as follows:

Saturday Mixer - WILL be held Sat 10/3, 9 - 11 am.

Note that this will be the final organized Saturday mixer of the season.

The Springfield Tennis Club Picnic will be held on Sat 10/3 immediately following the mixer. Come join us for hamburgers, hot dogs and the fixings to celebrate a great season of clay court tennis! We’ll have the food; bring your own chair!

Sign up on Team Reach for both of these events so we know how to plan the tennis and the food!

The Annual Freedman tournament will be postponed to 10/3 & 10/4.

Play will begin immediately following the mixer for some divisions. We will try to schedule as many divisions and matches as possible for Saturday 10/3, but we may need to use Sunday for semi-finals/finals rounds, depending on the sizes of the divisions.

Karen will be in touch directly with those that have already registered to discuss plans. Since we’re pushing this out a week, there’s still time to get in on this event. Anyone else who wants to play - please use the link to register, or contact Karen directly with questions: [email protected]. Final deadline for registrations: Tuesday 9/29

Remember all proceeds from this event go to STC to help provide for our courts and the fun activities that we host.

AND looking ahead a couple of weeks, we will hold our Annual Meeting at the clay courts or in the tennis house on Saturday, October 17. Pizza will be served at 12:30 pm, the meeting will start at 1 pm. We will send another reminder as we get closer.

Hello Everyone!

You may have heard that there was considerable tree damage at the park last weekend due to some storms. We’re very lucky that the courts and surrounding area is in good shape and wasn’t impacted.

IMPORTANT COURT AVAILABILITY NOTE: After Saturday’s mixer, we are hosting a USTA Level 6 Junior Tournament starting at 11 am. The tournament will use ALL of the clay courts between 11 am and 2:30 pm on Saturday. After 2:30, the tournament will continue but courts should start to open up.
