The Second Annual ProAm Championship! We had a ball — literally 😄 — playing Red Ball tennis: smaller courts, slower balls, and the perfect way to introduce new players to the game.

“Team Shaw Tennis Clinic”…Round 3!

STA hosted our third “Team Shaw Tennis Clinic” on Friday, a FREE intro-to-tennis clinic for military members/spouses.

Each of the 34 participants received:
- Free racquet
- 2 hours of free instruction from pros Brian and Nick
- Free dinner catered by Moe’s Southwest Grill
- Free 6-week “Quick Start” beginners clinic ($96 value!)
- Free STA membership after completion of Quick Start! ($20 monetary value, HUGE social value!)

Thanks to:
- PTC for allowing STA to use the courts
- Pros Brian and Nick for the great instruction
- On-court STA helpers Sean, Kigo, Steve, Tasha, and Kay who helped Brian/Nick feed balls and run drills
- All the players who also helped set-up and clean-up (gotta love military people!) Special shout outs to Sean (STA) and Ruben and Pamela (Shaw) who did the bulk of the clean-up work...thanks!
- The new "609th AOC Tennis Club" from Shaw who joined us for dinner after a mini-mixer of their own! STA appreciates you helping get the Team Shaw Tennis clinic members connected to other established military tennis groups. (And nice logo/patch!)

🎾 Game, set, match—May is National Tennis Month in Sumter! 🎾

The City of Sumter is proud to recognize the game of tennis as more than just a sport—it’s a lifelong activity that promotes physical fitness, mental well-being, and meaningful connections for all ages.

At the heart of it all is the Palmetto Tennis Center—a nationally recognized destination that has been serving our community since 2004. With 24 hard courts, 8 red clay courts, and 4 pickleball courts (all lighted for evening play), it’s one of the most complete racquet sport facilities in the Southeast. From free-to-play courts to professional instruction for players as young as four, there’s truly something for everyone.

The addition of the Philip L. Edwards Clay Courts has only strengthened Sumter’s reputation as a premier destination for competitive play and high-quality programming—thanks to strong community partnerships and a shared commitment to excellence.

This May, we invite you to pick up a racquet, hit the courts, and experience all that tennis has to offer. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned player, there’s no better time to get involved, stay active, and connect with your community.

🏆 Join us in celebrating National Tennis Month—right here in Sumter!
