TENNIS PROGRAM

DSRC Tennis continues to offer exciting programs, events, and activities for both adults and children. Our junior program has successfully developed a number of players who have reached their goals of becoming high school and college players. The turnout for all of our Adult activities continues to grow, as many former players return to the game.

In addition, our Tennis Director, Bob Denham, strives to show improvements each year in all of our programs. Bob is working on building DSRC Tennis into an area leading Tennis Program. He is a USPTA certified Tennis Professional and brings with him a strong background in program development and a proven history of working with and developing high performance players. Programs for 2010 include youth programs, tennis teams, social events, private lessons, tennis camps, and more. New for 2010 will be a Thursday night Teen Night (see details below).

Our facility upgrades over the last 5 years include a court resurfacing, the addition of a high quality Sportswall International Backboard, divider nets, tennis nets, and wind screens. Some general court maintenance will take place this spring, closing the courts for 3 days in mid-June (subject to change).

Please stop by the Tennis Office or contact Bob Denham if you have any questions regarding the available tennis programs and activities. Also let Bob know if you would like to rent the DSRC ball machine. All proceeds, made payable to DSRC, are earmarked toward a new machine.
