Welcome to the 2010 TTA tennis season! 

Good bye winter!  It’s almost time for TTA programs to start!  On Tuesday, May 4, TTA programs begin with Women’s Doubles.  The Round Robin Kick-off with light refreshments will be on Saturday, June 12.  Sign up is required for the Kick-off event, so be sure to sign up and join the group.

Carol and Joe Pillsworth will again direct and manage activities at Prospect Park for the City of Troy.  TTA is delighted that Carol and Joe have agreed once more to teach our group lessons on Wednesday evenings and Saturday mornings.  The group lessons are included in your membership!

TTA has been awarded a $500 grant from USTA for a third year. The Eastern Adult Tennis Foundation (EATF) offers grants to help non-profit organizations initiate or expand their tennis activities.  This grant is specifically for our seniors, 62 and over.  The aim of the program is for our seniors to be happy, healthy and on the courts.  Skills and strategies will be offered in an easy paced, fun clinic with Joe Pillsworth.  Please indicate on the membership form if you are interested in participating in the senior program.  Senior Clinics will be held on Friday mornings at 9:00.

The Prospect Park tennis courts were repaired last summer.  The City of Troy funded the work and the Friends of Prospect Park made a generous contribution.  The City replaced some nets last season and plans to replace a few more this year.  We appreciate the support that the City and the Friends of Prospect Park provides for tennis facilities in the Park.

TTA offers many tennis programs throughout the summer at a very reasonable price.  The quality and variety of TTA programming would not be possible without the support of many volunteers, both TTA officers and TTA friends.  You can assure that TTA will continue to provide varied, quality tennis activities by contributing your time, enthusiasm and expertise to the group.     

Join the Troy Tennis Association today. Don’t delay! Send in your membership form and mark your calendar with TTA tennis dates.   With your TTA membership you can enjoy lots of tennis activities at the Park this summer!

See you on the courts!
