The pro staff has scheduled Saturdays through May 26 for HVTC juniors to play practice matches under the direction of one of the club pros. These sessions are for juniors participating in the Tournament Excellence 1, Competitive Training, or Tournament Preparation groups of the Junior Excellence program. Players will be matched up by the pro for singles and doubles play, allowing participants to meet new people, play different styles of games, find practice partners, get some additional competitive play, and—most important—have fun!

The Saturday play during spring will be outdoors, 2-4pm, weather permitting. Cost is $10; if play is moved inside it will be $20. Call the club to sign up.

Our previous post regarding fitness training at HVTC had a typo in Matt’s email address – apologies about that, and here is the correct one:  tomaszematt@gmail.com

The basis of all strokes  –  the correct grip! Everything you’ve ever wanted to know about grips in our new document in the Resources section.

Huron Valley Tennis Club is now offering fitness training with Matt Tomaszewski. Matt, a member of the National Strength and Conditioning Association, is a graduate of Northwestern University’s program in physical therapy. He has over 30 years of experience working with high school athletes, weekend warriors, and active seniors.

Training will primarily utilize elastic bands, free weights, stability balls, and other easily available equipment so the participant can follow through at home. Stretching exercises will also be covered. Tailor a plan to meet your individual goals!

Matt will be offering private and semiprivate sessions for members and nonmembers. The fee for an hour of instruction is $60, plus an additional $2 per extra participant. Sessions can be scheduled for 30 or 60 minutes. Members may bill fees to their HVTC accounts. Email Matt (tomasczematt@gmail.com) directly to schedule a session, or leave a message with the front desk for Matt to call you.
