Spotlight on Nick Donato

Welcome back!

Our Tennis Life presents Nick Donato, an active doubles player, community volunteer, and certified Yoga instructor. I would love to see Nick lead Yoga classes here at the Club to help our tennis players reap the benefits Yoga stretching can provide.​

Welcome Back!

​According to the Tennis Industry Association (TIA) and the Physical Activity Council, participation in tennis grew by 10% of USA population in 2020 up from 6% in 2019! 
Picture
And, the TIA saw racquet sales increase by 37% in 2020 over 2019, amazing considering the flat growth the industry had been experiencing. All during a pandemic!

​We all know how Idle Hour Tennis Club opened adhering to recommended safety measures last spring, and we all agree it paid off: practicing social distancing, wearing masks on Club property, washing our hands, and being outside, allowed a much needed healthy activity for our members.

​As our lives were affected by the shut-down, I celebrate the precautions set in place by our President Hugh Roberts and Board Members to keep our playground open.

That's all from Our Tennis Life.  I would love to hear from you.  Let me know what's on your mind.  Click on my email address below to send me your thoughts.
