PLEASE READ: Sportsmen’s Fundraiser UPDATE

Hi Everyone,

Just a quick update that we are two weeks into our fundraiser for Sportsmen’s Tennis and Enrichment Center.  We have raised $2,225.00 so far!!

Thanks to all the members that have already donated.

Sportmen’s Tennis and Enrichment Center in Dorchester (STEC) offers free and low-cost tennis, academics, and life skills programming to more than 5000 youth annually. Pioneering programs like Volley Against Violence and their Center for Community Wellness extends their outreach to Boston’s underserved communities. Adult recreational and competitive tennis programs welcome diverse players from all over the city and help fund their non-profit mission.

Please view the link below for a better idea of STEC’s impact on the disadvantaged populations that they serve

https://sportsmenstennis.org/our-impact/

We hope that you consider donating to Sportsmen’s this holiday season.  We encourage you to make that donation on behalf of tennis4all.  If you wish to donate, please write a check made payable to STEC (Sportsmen’s Tennis and Enrichment Center) and mail to:

Steve Menichetti
6 Mayhew Street #1
Dorchester, MA 02125

Please write “tennis4all” on the envelope or on the memo line of the check.

I will then take all the individual member donations to STEC and make one big donation on behalf of tennis4all.

You can also VENMO me (@SteveMenichetti) and put STEC in the subject line if that is easier for you than writing a check.  I can then get STEC to email an individual receipt for each  donation.

We have one week left in this fundraiser.  Will you help us get to $3,000.00 raised?

Thanks for considering, and happy holidays to you and your families.

Sincerely,

Steve Menichetti

On behalf of the Tennis4All Board of Directors

Pickleball social January 8

Our first pickleball social in November sold out in 24 hours, and we had a blast. Our next social is scheduled for January 8 from 6 to 8 pm on indoor pickleball courts in Hanover MA. We’ve added a fourth court and pizza this time too. We’ll play a classic doubles mixer format (one game and rotate), so you’ll play approximately 75% of the time. Enjoy some pizza between games.

All levels are welcome. Register soon before this fills up at Pickleball social January 8.

 

Sign up for the Winter/Spring Singles League!

All,

I am delighted to share with you the details of the Winter/Spring 2022 Singles Season by Tennis4All!  

The details are as follows:

  • This season will consist of 15 weeks, from January 9, 2022 through May 1, 2022. There will be two weeks with no scheduled matches (February 20 & April 17). All scheduled matches will be on Sundays at 6PM.
  • The cost will be $265 for the season. This is higher than last season because of two reasons: we’ll again provide balls for matches (yay!) and court costs have increased (sad!).
  • Each participant will be scheduled to play at least 9 matches.
  • We are maxed out at 46 participants.
    • We encourage participants to sign up as soon as possible.
  • Registration will open on Saturday, November 20 and will remain open until the earlier of (a) member capacity is reached or (b) Sunday, November 28.
  • We will be sending a reminder email to our membership each day registration is open.  In advance, we ask for your patience and understanding regarding multiple emails; these reminders are vital to both reaching our capacity and keeping the league successful and competitive.
  • Everyone will be allowed to request up to 2 Sundays off, and we will do our absolute best to accommodate those requests. 
  • Due to popular demand, we’re bringing back balls, baby!
