Tennis drills – One-time fee of $10
Wednesday mornings
Wirth Park • May 19 – July 21
For players who are serious about improving their skill (or who just like to hit tennis balls), Gene O’Kelly is offering two sessions of drills: 10–11am and 11am–noon, with the latter especially for less accomplished players. Stay for both segments if you like.
Balls will be suppled; bring your water. Gene also will be available before or afterward for personal attention if arranged in advance. Call him at (414) 526-2719.
Singles, anyone?
Thursdays, 7 pm, Malone Park, New Berlin
Free
New this year is an experimental, singles drop-in league with an assigned and adjusted handicap for each player. Men and women are welcome. We will play short sets and use “short scoring” to make it less exhausting than typical singles competition.
There is no fee and no need to sign up or commit. Just come when you feel like it. Bring your own balls. Call Gene at (414) 526-2719.
