Ready for Spring League Take Off

Yesterday was the last spring league team practice before the league kicks off on Tuesday. Our Div. 3 C Green team, captained by Susan Clancy, plays at Brookline. LCC Div. 3 B White, captained by Lisa Cummings, takes on the Windsor Club on the Longwood courts. I will try to blog live from the first home game!

Here is a link to the Spring League website where you can find the schedule and the scores.

LCC Div. 3 C Green with Coach Wolf

All the Coaches are feeling confident with the teams and are looking forward to starting the season again. Quick reminder to all players: The warm-up time is limited to 15 minutes, including serves. Keep in mind that the purpose of the warm-up is not to "work on your game", but to warm up your strokes and get your footwork going.

Please someone remind Tony to cook up some good food for Tuesdays home game!

1st Spring League Practice!

Today two teams practiced to prepare for the first spring league battle next week. The first team only saw 2 players, but it was a full house on the second practice of the day with 15 players practicing. With Larry, Tim, and myself as Coaches on duty, the players went through volley drills, approach shot drills, and point play. Effort level was high among players and coaches.

All set up and we are ready to go

Action on courts 5 - 8

Two wo new members who came out to practice with their new team mates, Liz and Cecilia. Welcome to LCC Spring League. Just so you know, it's not always as nice practicing outside in April as it was today. Today was a great day, with a blue sky and almost no wind. The courts were in good shape too. This early in the season the clay courts are always a little on the softer side as they haven't been played much on yet. The more they are played on, the harder they will become.

Volley drill

Next week is the real deal with our first round of matches. As he has in the past, I expect Tony will serve up a great lunch for the home teams and their opponents. Maybe the Coaches can have some left overs?
