Ratings and Upcoming Tennis EventsFollowing you will find a listing of the spring programs including leagues, socials and tournaments. These activities are set up to accommodate all levels of play from beginner to advanced players. The National Tennis Rating Program is a system that rates players from 1.0 (has never hit a ball) to 7.0 (world class professional). The NTRP is now used in almost all leagues, tournaments, and group lessons to determine at which level you should play. Most club players are rated 3.0 (advanced beginner), 3.5 (intermediate), 4.0 (advanced intermediate), or 4.5 (advanced). To sign up for any of the programs, call the Pro Shop or place your name on the sign-up sheets on the Pro Shop wall.

Learn to Swim Group LessonsKildaire Farms will once again be offering various sessions of group swim lessons this summer. In order to assess each child, the first class of each session will be mostly an evaluation; the children will then be grouped according to age and skill level. By evaluating children in this manner it will allow the instructors to better suit your child’s needs, but it also means that you must be present at the first class to participate. The group lesson fee is $40.00 for 8 (30-minute) classes. Generally this fee is non-refundable after the second class. If you have any questions regarding swim lessons, please feel free to contact the pool after May 20 at 467-0121 or 467-2963. Sign up will begin May 20. Please call or stop by the pool to sign up. |

Spring weather is on the way. After a long and cold winter, everyone is ready to be on the courts and in the pool. The Kildaire Farms Fitness and Racquetball Center has been a great addition allowing our members access to racquetball, workout facilities, a hot tub and sauna. The Fitness and Racquetball staff has done an excellent job. We are pleased that the majority of our 2005 pool staff will return for 2006. Rebecca Keegan will be the pool manager, and Eric Hockridge and Neal Robinson will be the assistant managers. Tori Pendergrass will coach the swim team, and Audrey Whitmeyer-Weathers will be the assistant coach. The coaches and pool staff did an outstanding job last year, and we look forward to another great year at the pool facility.
