2015 On-Court Enhancements

Today we'll take a quick look at what will change on-court for 2015........

FORMAT ADJUSTMENT FOR ALL DRILLS

As our core group of tennis-playing members evolves, so will the programming.  This year I will continue to design all drill activities to be "live ball" style.  This means most activities during the session will begin with a pro feed or serve beginning each new point.  This will enhance the "reality" of the situation we are all striving for, improvement and a good workout!

This format will not be used in drills that are geared for new players.  In this drill, the focus will continue to be on sound stroke fundamentals and exercise.

MEN'S NIGHT - WEEKLY RANKINGS

Since my first season at FCC in '99, the most-attended tennis activity at FCC is Wednesday's Men's Night.  Always a good core of men who are looking for a good competitive game of tennis, and yes, pizza, beer and lively conversation afterward.  This year I am challenging the men to bring their "A" game each week.  There will be a weekly ranking based on two factors:  attendance and game results.  This should take the post-game conversation to an all new high! Keep checking back to this blog for updates!

SATURDAY MORNING DRILL GOES CO-ED - SORT OF......

2015 will mark the first year this our lady members of FCC can enjoy the same workout the men have had on Saturday mornings.  A ladies-only drill, any level of play is welcome for this event that will immediately follow Men's Drill.  Check back for starting date and time!
