TENNIS COURTS

The Fairfax Club Estates tennis courts (located at 5601 Snowy Owl Drive) are available from dawn to dusk everyday to all FCE residents. The gate is locked to help prevent vandalism, but keys are available to any resident and can be obtained from the Tennis Committee Chair.

The two tennis courts are maintained for tennis use only. Residents are asked not to use street shoes on the courts nor to use the courts for any purpose other than playing or teaching tennis.

Trash cans are available on the courts for paper and bottles left at the courts. Please clean up after you use the courts.

Courts are used on a first come first serve basis. If, however, someone is waiting to use a court, please limit use to an hour for singles play and to an hour and a half for doubles play.

During the summer, the Junior Program will be occupying the courts on select weekday mornings beginning at the close of public schools through the end of July.

Any questions or suggestions pertaining to the tennis courts or tennis program should be directed to the Tennis Committee Chair.

Dear Tennis Families,

Hello, and welcome to the Fairfax Club Estates (FCE) Tennis Summer Program. Kelly Lucero & Jennifer Carpenter are coordinating once again and are happy to have Coach John Myers returning as our wonderful coach!! Coach Myers has been teaching and coaching tennis for 30 years and is awesome with the kids! If you would like to register, please fill out the registration form and return it along with your check, payable to John Myers, to Jennifer at 5584 Ann Peake Dr. (there will be an envelope on the glass door) or Kelly at 10666 John Ayres Dr. by May 31, 2022. **We will be holding checks until closer to the start date as we must have at least 30 participants to be able to have a team this year.**

Our program is open to for rising 1^st graders through 18 year olds of all abilities and who are FCE residents or summer pool members. Classes will be grouped primarily by age/grade, but the coaches may make a different placement if deemed necessary.

Pre-Season Lessons:

Rising 1^st – 3^rd grade: Monday, June 6th from 4:30-5:00.

Rising 4^th – 6^th grade: Monday, June 6^th, from 5:00-5:30.

Middle and High School players:  Tuesday, June 7th from 5:45-6:15.

Regular summer lessons will then be held on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday mornings, beginning Monday, June 13^th and continuing through July 21^st (weather permitting.) Times coordinate with swim team times/age groups and will most likely be:

8:35-9:35 – 9-12 yrs (rising 4-6^th)      9:35-10:05 – 8U  (rising 1-3rd)         10:40-11:40 – 13+ (rising 7th+)

*Groups may need to be divided based on the number of participants to allow everyone more hitting time. We will determine that after receiving registrations; thanks for your understanding.

Matches will be played on Wednesday mornings through the Northern Virginia Tennis League and will most likely run through 7/20 (waiting on confirmation.) Players will be selected prior to each match by the coach. It will be communicated at a later date if we have an end-of-season party!

Please feel free to contact me (jcarpenter100@msn.com / 615-957-1871) or Kelly (kbmml1@gmail.com / 571-533-8593) if you have any questions. We’re looking forward to the 2022 season!

If you do not want any more e-mails, please let us know and we will remove your name from the distribution list.

Thank you,

Jennifer & Kelly
