SVLCC Member-Guest Tournament

Spring Valley Lake Country Club will be hosting an upcoming Member-Guest Tennis Tournament on the weekend of August 20th and 21st. This is a fantastic chance to enjoy the Spring Valley Lake Tennis experience. Entry cost is $30 per team. Sign up in the fitness center quickly because spots will be limited.

As a build-up, the tennis staff will be providing 3 nights of clinics and open play. The dates of the tune-up clinics are July 8, July 22, and August 5 from 6 pm to 8 pm. The cost of the clinic and match play is $10 dollars per session. However, the clinics will be free to all teams that pay for the tournament in advance!

As a reminder, SVLCC continues to provide the finest tennis instruction found in the high desert. During the summer, we are providing private and group tennis lessons throughout the week for children and adults. Some of these programs include: Junior Summer Camps, Cardio Tennis, and Adult Tennis Academy. Call us at 760-245-6788 to find out class times or to arrange a private tennis lesson from our USPTA-certified tennis professionals.

The Tennis Staff and I hope to see everyone on the courts!

Sincerely,

Tony Chatfield
Director of Sports

SVLCC Junior tournament results

Here are the results from the 1st annual Spring Valley Lake Country Club Junior Satellite Tournament. Over the past weekend, 65 junior players, each under the age of 18, competed for SCTA ranking points. Players traveled from as far as Costa Mesa to lock horns with our local tennis players.

Spring Valley Lake Tennis is determined to provide young players in the High Desert the opportunities to compete against other SCTA juniors and gain tournament experience. Ultimately, we hope to grow this tournament into or earn a separate sanction from the SCTA for a junior OPEN event. We cannot do so without the support from our local tennis community, coaches and players. If you missed the event this time, we hope to see you next time!

Congratulations to the following local players for their successes:

Parker Retes	Boy's 18 Champion
Adrian Belcher	Boy's 18 Runner-Up
Nolan Earl	Boy's 16 Champion
