Whether you picked up your first tennis racket at a very young age, grasped onto the
game in your teens or were enticed to slap that fuzzy yellow ball around during your adult
years, you chose a sport, activity and community which offers so very much.
Take it as far as you want or just go out there and enjoy the game. There are so many
different levels of competition and play out there - most anyone will find their groove once
they realize tennis is a fun, challenging and physically rewarding sport.
Tennis provides a means for you to increase and maintain endurance, agility, balance,
coordination and muscular reflex and strength; all of which, at a minimum, makes you
more fit, more alert and keeps that mass between your ears, sharper than a tack.
Hey, this is a sport and it can get very competitive out there between the lines, but you'll
never meet a better bunch of people, on or off the tennis court. We all want to go out
there, give it our best and win a few for our team, but we also like to have fun and take
advantage of our common interest in tennis beyond the fences.
The Sport for a Lifetime
Chances are good you are already
involved in the game, if not, spend some
time with us or grab someone in your
neighborhood, workplace or social circle,
whom is. They will be more than happy to
get you involved and on your way to
enjoying tennis.
Whether or not you are in your 20's or 30's,
or enjoying life in your 40's and beyond, you
can look forward to a life of fitness and fun
playing tennis, no matter where you live.

Bill Ingbretsen was 75+ in this photo and still has "good game" nearly five years later - I've
played against him often. At the time, he could compete and beat equally rated players
half his age and he still continues to give his peers much trouble while on court.
