Play Day Hosts: We are in need of hosts for, May, Aug. Sept. Nov & Dec. Bernice said that February Valentine's theme (Candace and Garett), March (Patsy), April (Laura M) June and July are spoken for. Please contact Bernice If you’d like to host a play day, we greatly appreciate your help. 

Let's get playing:  Tennis leagues are just around the corner.  If you are interested in playing on a team, captaining a team, please contact Allison Deputy at deputy@southwest.usta.com.  It would be so great if Alamogordo could put their own team together, captaining isn't that difficult, I find that putting a line-up out is the toughest part. If not for the men's or women's leagues, perhaps we could put a mixed doubles team together??? I'd captain one if I had the players willing to commit. 

Tennis exchanges: Yes, we plan on continuing with this. We know that Alto exchange (August) is always fun, so why not bring back the I-70 exchange. If interested in helping with these exchanges, please let Janet or Sintra know. 

Charles and the H.S. tennis players are now practicing 5 days a week, 4:00-6:00.  January 24th and 25th a clinic will take place for the H.S. students by a tennis Pro from Canada. For more information, contact Coach Powell.  All ATA members are welcome to come and watch.
