Specials of the Month

Racquet Winterizing Special
Your tennis racquet is like your car.  When the seasons change, it is important to get both ready for the new season.  Laurel Hill is offering you a racquet winterizing special. Drop your racquet off at the front desk for a fall tune up.  Get your racquet restrung (with Synthetic Gut) and a new grip for $25.  If you would like any other type of string it would be restringing and a new grip for $30.

Junior Accomplishments
Make sure to stop by the tennis board in the lobby to see the amazing results of the Laurel Hill juniors this summer.  Great job by all of our junior tennis players!

 

Laurel Hill Challenge Ladder
This year Laurel Hill will continue to offer 4 levels of challenge matches.  The plan is to offer challenge matches for kids on the type of courts they are practicing on and the proper type of ball for their age.  This goes along with the junior developmental pathway.  We feel that by offering these matches, the kids will have more fun and learn more at the same time.  The four levels will be:  36’ (red ball), 60’ (orange ball), 78’ (green ball) and 78’ (yellow ball).  We will be passing out more information in the classes or you can contact Mark or Kim at 419-381-9661.

 

Singles  Tennis League Forming
Laurel Hill will be offering a singles league.  This league will be played on your schedule.  We will set the league up and you will schedule your own matches.  If you would like to be included in this new fun and flexible league, contact Kim or Mark 419-381-9661.
