SUMMER TENNIS LEAGUE, June 7–Aug. 23 • 6–7:30 pm
(Every Monday except July 5) Elm Grove, Brookfield East and Brookfield Central
Registration deadline: May 10
Come and join other enthusiastic individuals and enjoy a game of tennis on Monday nights. The tennis league is for all skill levels, from beginners to accomplished players. The matches are social, mixed doubles, with teams paired up according to ratings. Plan to get out and play, enjoy some exercise and have some fun.
Note: Due to COVID restrictions, the club will not be organizing an indoor social event after tennis. We are looking for an outdoor venue where players can safely gather. If you have any suggestions, contact Cheryl Jaeger at (262) 510-9676 or cheryljaeger@wi.rr.com or Diana Schneider at (414) 491-2217 or bschneider95@wi.rr.com.
The fee to play tennis for the season is $15. You may sign up as a substitute player instead for $10. The same court locations have been reserved as last year: Elm Grove, Brookfield East and Brookfield Central.
If you are a beginner tennis player and would like lessons for $15, call Dave Nicholson at (414) 418-5243.

Tennis drills Wednesday mornings
Wirth Park May 19 to July 21
One-time fee of $10. Two sessions: 10-11 a.m. and 11 a.m. to noon, with the latter especially for less accomplished players. But either time slot is OK for all. Facilitator Gene O’Kelly, (414) 526-2719, will be available before or after the sessions for personal attention if arranged in advance.
Singles tennis league – modified
Gene O’Kelly is organizing a league for tennis players ready for a challenge: singles, with some adjustments. To avoid lopsided, tiresome matches, “handicap scoring” will be used to promote more level competition, and a “short-set, no-ad” format will keep the games moving along. It will not be the physically taxing type of tennis we associate with singles. And for comfort, we will play in the cool of the evening.
Participants will be able to show up when they wish, with no week-to-week commitment. Contact Gene at (414) 526-2719, if you are interested.
