In April the beautiful tennis courts at SaddleBrooke Ranch were the scene of several tennis clinics coached by Jim Ward, member of the U.S. Professional Tennis Association. SBRTA Events Chairperson Sheila Bray made the arrangements for the clinics, and all members were invited to attend.

During these sessions the ladies worked to perfect their overhead smash while the gentlemen honed the deadly “dink.” The sessions were for ladies 3.0+ and the following hour for the less experienced ladies.

The gentlemen had separate sessions the following week. All sessions were stratified according to abilities.

The cost was free for any SBRTA member!

The SBRTA plans to hold more clinics later in the year. Keep on the lookout for further information and make plans to join us. See you on the courts.

Remember, tennis: it’s not just another raquet!
