MEN’S 3.0 CHAMPIONS
The tennis community continues to provide a great outlet for many VCC residents. This winter we had 5 competitive leagues where we traveled to other communities for matches, social tennis for both the ladies and men, and we welcomed Wayne Keeler for our various drills. We had people playing from the ages of 35-90. Dr. Seuss has a famous quote, “Oh, the Places You’ll Go!”
“You’re off to Great places! Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting, so… Get on your way!”
This quote seems to sum up the adventure that so many of our residents share. It’s exciting to witness all the places we go as we navigate through life both on and off the court.
Winter team results are listed below:
Women’s Update provided by Captains Joan Blaschke and Roe Brush.
