Facing the Heat!

Kudos to so many men and women who participated in drills, played in groups, and competed in USTA league matches, district championships and even the National Grass Court Championships during the last two weeks.  Although the temperatures were in the 90’s, PRC adults demonstrated great mental toughness.

Evaluation scores for Monday:  weather – 10, quality of matches – 10, sportsmanship – 10, being with friends – infinite number.  Thanks everyone for coming out on this gorgeous day.  The sky was so blue it was almost distracting on the serve, more so than the serve.
