From Coach JR:
To my Princeton Racquet Club family: it’s been 16 years ago when I first walked through the doors of Princeton Racquet Club. And those 16 years went by in a flash. From what I’ve heard is that if time goes by fast, that means those times are good times. It’s been a pleasure working with all of you, coworkers and students alike. I’ve seen many kids grow up to be fine adults and I’ve seen adults become better people all through the joy of tennis. I will embark in my new adventure in the Philippines and I will volunteer my time to make the Philippines a better place through tennis. Not sure how my journey will turn out for I am just a tennis coach with big dreams. All I ask from my Princeton Racquet Club family is for your hopes and prayers that my next journey will turn out safe and fruitful.
Special thanks to Cos and Judy. You’ve supported me through all these years. To Lauren, Carol, Susan, Sean, and the rest front desk staff who’ve kept me entertained while I was stringing racquets haha. Thanks to the Oliveira family for making Princeton Racquet Club the most beautiful club in New Jersey. And of course to my fellow tennis pros: Kaptan, Raj, TC, Derek, Judy Young, and Marybeth who’ve been with me through all these years. You will all forever be in my heart.

Cos, Judy and all of the Teaching Pros, Staff and PRC members wish JR the best, as he dedicates himself to teaching tennis in the Philippines through December. We are grateful to all of the contributions he made to so many children and adults at the club.
