Court Reservations
March is the busiest month of the year for indoor courts. The staff is actively using the waitlist to fill courts if someone cancels. Please let us know ASAP if you are not able to use your court. "No Shows" will result in a trip to the principal's office.

Coach's Corner
Five Keys to a Successful Dbls Team
- Find a partner you like. Even if they are not the best, you will have more fun.
- In club dubs, opposites work best! If you are a power player, find a steady backboard for a partner. Each player needs to bring a special strength that can help the team win.
- Keep the ball in play. The first two shots are key. Do not go for a big power shot unless it is an easy one to hit. Don't lose a point because you went for too much.
- LOB, LOB, and then LOB again! At every level the lob is the high percentage shot that turns a point into your favor. Off the return of serve or after a drop shot, the lob will frustrate your opponent.
- Placement is more important than power in doubles. Use angle shots and deep balls to keep the other team moving.
