UPDATE ON BALL MACHINE AT DESERT OASIS
The ball machine at Desert Oasis is functional and available for use! It will be necessary to manually lift it off of the carrier and place it on the court. Please be sure to plug it in after use to ensure the batteries last. Big shout out to Al Oakland for maintaining these tennis ball machines! Atta boy, Al!
Maintenance Updates!
- Replacements for broken scorekeepers on our tennis courts have been ordered! Soon we will no longer have to remember what the score is!
- The maintenance department will be ordering brighter lights for two courts in order to play safely after sunset.
ANNOUNCEMENT!
The SCOV Hard Courts Task Force (HCTF) is expected to soon recommend a plan for pickleball court expansion. This recommendation will be reviewed by the Long Range Planning Committee (LRPC). Pickleball expansion is currently considered by this committee to be lower priority than several other amenity enhancements. Tennis Club President, Mark Lankes, recently provided a statement on behalf of the Tennis Club regarding the above information to the LRPC. To review this statement, click here.

- Final sales for the Tennis Sponsored Mariachi Concert is Feb 13th, 9:30 AM to Noon at the Activity Center. See you all at the concert!
“The primary conception of tennis is to get the ball over the net and at the same time to keep it within the bounds of the court; failing this, within the borders of the neighborhood.”
-Elliot Chaze
