President has reluctantly agreed to hold the position for another year

— Status of 2017 Positions:

¡ President – Skip Pavitt ¡ Vice President – Ron Beran is a new candidate ¡ Ladies Representative – Bonnie Bjorkman is a new candidate ¡ Secretary – Sally Orr is a new candidate ¡ Men’s Representative – Bob Richman is willing to stay on ¡ Social Chairperson – Linda Campanelli is willing to stay on ¡ Treasurer – Ron Wagner is willing to stay on

USPTA Pro Teaching Tips (Ray Yost)

21

— Five most common mistakes made on the

courts:

¡ Not controlling one’s racquet ¡ Not shifting weight when serving ¡ Not hitting volleys correctly (foot work) ¡ Not in correct positions ¡ Incorrect movement – not using angle

Not Using Proper Footwork (Ray Yost)

22

— When you do NOT use proper footwork, this is what

happens:

¡ You will tend to reach for a ball rather than move to where you

really need to hit the ball

¡ You will take big steps rather than small “baby” steps, which

• ften puts you in an awkward position for hitting the shot

¡ You will not be able to rotate your body properly for the shot if

you are not in the correct position for hitting the shot

— Proper footwork starts with anticipating where the

ball is going to land and positioning yourself for it

— Proper footwork gives you more consistency with

your shots

Contact Our Instructors For Lessons (Skip Pavitt)

23

— We have three (3) qualified USPTA instructors — Contact them by phone or email and tell them what you

would like to learn:

¡ They can give you private instruction or help put together a group of

like players wanting the same skills improved

¡ You can take single lessons or a series of lessons

— It is recommended that you:

¡ Take a lesson ¡ Take the time to practice what you have been taught ¡ Then, take another lesson to review and fine tune what you have

been taught

Noise & Pollution Issue Resolved With CAM (Skip Pavit

25

— Ken Olsen agreed to have Gothic stop mowing and

blowing leaves during the morning hours in and around the Adobe tennis courts:

¡ They will perform their morning work around the

amphitheater, the Sonoran Plaza, and around Angela’s

¡ Much to our disagreement, Ken Olsen insisted that they perform

work along the lake from the amphitheater to Angela’s during the morning hours

¡ They will start landscaping work after 12:00 noon around the

courts

¡ Gothic was in the meeting and said they would comply with our

request

— If work is performed during the morning hours, please
