The tennis scene at CCRA this season was extremely busy and so many players enjoyed the various opportunities to play with new players and get some great games played! New programs were offered and new players were welcomed to the courts of all ages and levels! MIXERS: Several mixers were organized throughout the season and each event reached maximum number.. The mixers brought out regular participants as well as new players and on may occasions several enjoyed dinner after play provided by the Chevy Chase Cafe. TEAM NO DRAMA was introduced this year. Many ladies were keen to be a part of a team where results were not important and would play whenever I was able to provide a match with area clubs. Team No Drama played great matches against Columbia County Club and Chevy Chase Club several times and we also played Palisades Swim and Tennis Club. JUNIOR TEAM was formed consisting of the top teen participants in the Tennis Academy. The players had a great showing against Chevy Chase Club and Columbia Country Club. WIMPLETON, FUTURE STARS AND TENNIS ACADEMY programs had enthusiastic participants each week and all summer beginning the first week in June and continuing thru August 30th. The Tennis Academy players enjoyed spending the full day at CCRA playing tennis in the morning and afternoon and in between enjoying the pool, ping pong matches and lunch at the Cafe. ADULT DOUBLES LEAGUE and the JUNIOR AND ADULT SINGLES BUMPER LEAGUE had a great sign up and all enjoyed playing with new partners and meeting fellow members. I had an incredible staff with Scott Keaton, Diane Baxter and Chris Kiernan and I thank them for making the season such a success. Hope to see many continue to come to the courts throughout the fall months. Thanks to everyone for a wonderful tennis season!
