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.
Possibilities for postgame socializing are being discussed. We are looking for an outdoor venue where players can safely gather. If you have any suggestions, contact Cheryl Jaeger at cheryljaeger@wi.rr.com or (262) 510-9676 or Diana Schneider at bschneider95@wi.rr.com or (414) 491-2217.
The fee to play tennis for the season is $15. You may sign up as a substitute player instead for $10. Courts are being reserved at: Elm Grove, Brookfield East, Brookfield Central and Wauwatosa West.

Beginner Tennis Lessons

Tennis drills – One-time fee of $10
Wednesday mornings
Wirth Park • May 19 – July 21
One-time fee of $10. Two sessions: 10–11 a.m. and 11a.m.–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, anyone?
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.
