Do you play tennis for exercise, or do you exercise to play better tennis? Either answer is perfect for HVTC’s cardio tennis program. Cardio tennis is a low-impact drill session designed to get the heart rate up and the feet moving. The time is Monday 1:30-2:30pm, and signup is weekly. The cost is $18 for members, $21 for nonmembers.

Congratulations to Huron Valley Tennis Club’s 7.5 women’s combo team, captained by Deana Shields:  The team won its flight and competed in district playoffs in January. Way to go!

Winter break is a great time to set up some practice matches for your junior players. Practice matches can be scheduled in non-prime time for the practice match rate of $22/hour. If you don’t have a partner or need some suggestions, Don Campbell is our practice match expert. Talk with Don or leave him a message and he will assist you in setting up some matches. Pros may have more lesson times and courts available over the break for private lessons. Speak with your favorite coach to schedule a time.
