Senior Olympics Information

Here is detailed information about the Senior Olympics:

Senior Olympics Competition
Singles, doubles, and mixed in 5 year age increments, starting at age 50.

LOCAL: Register between April 1 and 13 (main registration day is April 5, 1 pm). Pick up the registration form at the Senior Center. Ask for Jean Duncan (mornings are better). Fill out the form there, or take with you. There is a one time/"cover everything" local FEE of $15 (I think).

Actual competition will occur during the week starting Monday, April 23 (some leeway here). Grady Nicholson will layout the matches, based on the registration.

NOTE ABOUT STATE COMPETITION: Qualifying players from the local play can play at the state competition, but its not an obligation (its really hard not to qualify). State will be held at NMSU, Las Cruces, July 25-29 (tennis is usually the first three days). A separate registration fee will apply to State.

This IS a qualifying year for the 2013 National Senior Games to be held in Cleveland, OH. The competition at State is usually a little better during a qualifying year. Playing at State does not obligate you to go Nationals.

For questions, contact Grady Nicholson, 434-1949,

March Play Day

The weather was cloudy and cool but the tennis was still a lot of fun. Sabine B. and Allen sponsored this month's play day and surprised everyone by awarding the prizes to the third and last place winners.
More pictures to come.

WTT 3.5 Team

Congratulations to the Alamogordo 3.5 WTT team for winning first place in their league. They will now have the opportunity to travel to Las Vegas, NV to compete in a national event.

We will have more details about this later!

Washing the courts

In preparation for the April tournament, the City of Alamogordo will be washing the tennis courts at 8:00 am on Friday, April 13. We need four volunteers to help with this project. The courts should dry quickly and be available for play soon after they are washed.

See John White if you would like to volunteer for this.

Roswell Exchange

An exchange with the Roswell club is being arranged for March 24 here in Alamogordo. The format for the exchange is changing to a more non competitive format. Roswell players will be paired with Alamogordo players to play. This should make for a friendly and fun day of tennis!

Please let Janet or Dale know if you are available to play on this date.

This has been canceled.

Play Day March 10

Don't forget about play day tomorrow. The forecast is for 40% chance of rain, so we will just have to wait and see what happens.
