The club awards bronze, silver, and gold medals to juniors (through 8th grade) based on accumulated points. Tournament play is 3 points, interclub matches are 2 points, and practice matches are 1 point. Players are encouraged to keep track of their tennis throughout the year. A scoring sheet is available at the front desk and by the pro offce.

Players whose yearly total is 20–35 points earn a bronze, those with 36–49 points get silver, and those who have 50+ points earn the gold. Point totals need to be handed in at the desk by December 12.

Thanksgiving week is a good time to set up a private lesson. With no groups meeting, there are extra courts available. Contact your favorite coach now to set one up. Pros have lesson times available, and parent-child court time is an option during the week before 4:30pm. Practice matches are also possible; ask the desk staff for more information on any of these opportunities. The club will be open 9am–1pm on Thanksgiving, and courts are offered at a special rate of $26 per hour. Come and enjoy a rigorous morning of tennis prior to settling in for your turkey dinner.
