It's hard to believe our open house was almost 2 weeks ago! Fingers crossed the weather will start to warm up and stop raining so we can get back on the courts! Thanks to all the volunteers who helped at the event and the Civic Center Staff who installed the wind screens. Registration is still open, send us a message or better yet stop by the courts and chat with some players! See you on the courts!
