Advanced NoticeTo make the parties run smoothly and your games meet your expectation, as much as possible, please reserve a spot ahead of time, at least one day in advance. Last minute signers may not get their expected matches.CancellationI understand the need to cancel at times. I often explain to players why it is important to call and let me know if they do not plan on coming, as there are 3 players who wait for the fourth on the court. The notice would also allow the WAIT-LISTED players a chance to play. For the weekend parties, you MUST CALL giving a notice of 4-5 hours prior to the parties start time, to avoid a cancellation charge of $20 if the problem persists.GuidelinesJust a reminder, our parties provide a fun and relaxing atmosphere, where players can have friendly competition. We simply ask attendees to follow these guidelines:1. Introduce yourselves to the new players on the court. This will make for a more wholesome experience.2. Be cordial to your partners and opponents.3. Refrain from giving instructions to anyone on the court unless they request them.4. Do not gun for the person at the net with fast and hard hitting especially in mixed doubles.
LAST WEEK'S RECAPFridayNo party - Halloween night must have been too scary....
SaturdayA NYC newcomer joined us for the first time this week, speaking with a European accent. He said it's cosmopolitan but a player who just finished playing him jokingly said - Yes, cosmopolitan is NOT to be trusted. Who knows what trick shots he pulled on the court.
A 15-year-old who started playing tennis at a summer camp joined our group just last week, is back again this week and vouches to come weekly. So far he's enjoying it, as he easily transitions from ping pong to tennis and playing great tennis for someone who's been playing on only 4 months.
A Tappan newcomer found us online 4 weeks ago and has been coming weekly since. He must be enjoying the group for its fun and friendliness, aside from the wonderful tennis of course.
By accident 2 fathers who drop off their children at the same daycare were talking about their tennis-related ankle injury this summer. The Tennis Buffs regular mentioned us to the other. The policeman newcomer, our 2nd policeman in the group, is now a weekly regular since his injury healed in September.
SundayDuring breaks last week the players spent time watching sports on TV. This week some spent time talking about a wife's addiction to Dexter or a husband's to "24." Another strange habit of a wife is her inclination to cook only once a week.
We will be missing our British player this week as he will be in Frankfurt. Where is that pilot player when we need him?
Please call or email me to make reservations. The earlier you do, the more our parties will be successful.
Look forward to meeting new and old friends!
