Dedicated Captains

The highlight of yesterday’s USTA 3.0 match was the surprise visit by captain Catherine Taaffe. She came to support her team,  despite recovering  from her recent medical procedures. Cath looked great and it was such a treat to see her at PRC again. Many PRC captains have demonstrated such dedication this year, some while experiencing…

USTA League Matches Continue

Participants of the spring USTA League have welcomed the best weather ever (in April) and great competition.  This season, the scoring will be points by position.  Therefore, points will accumulate throughout the season rather than a win or loss for each match.  Standings can change quickly throughout the season.  The men’s teams start this weekend.  Let’s…

Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head..

A very unpredictable weather system caused a steady rain to fall on participants of the Monday match play and one court of the USTA 3.0 team match.  The players competed on clay.  One of the many benefits of the clay courts, is that play can continue during wet/rainy conditions as the footing is not dangerous.  Therefore, the…

Good Friday for Tennis

The courts were occupied all morning, with players from contracts, some USTA matches and Friday match play.  Conditions were perfect – inside and out!

Good Start for Slices and Volleys

Tuesday was a perfect day for the first match of the USTA 3.5 40 and over league.  The PRC Slice Girls and Volley Girls competed outside under sunny skies with very little breeze.

Celebrate Aces!

The PRC Paces, winners of the USTA Winter 3.5 40 and over League, gathered to celebrate their successful season at PRC on Thursday night.  Thanks to Captain Beth Sopher and all of the players.  The team will advance to District Championships in August.

Game for A Match?

Looking for a game?  Can you believe the number one factor in people not playing tennis is that they can’t find anyone to play with?  That is very unfortunate when you only need 1-3 to do so.  Two opportunities present themselves at this time of year.  First, many captains are looking for players for their USTA…

Aces, Racqueteers, Volley and Slice Girls Finish Successful Season
