High school invi tat ional What an exciting weekend on March 18 & 19 with our 7th High School Invitational presented by Piedmont Bank. This event brought together six local public high schools to compete for the championship. This event has turned out to be the kids favorite event due to the play format. The schools competing this year were, Cambridge, Johns Creek, Walton, Chattahoochee, West Forsyth and Alpharetta. Cambridge won the championship again for the second time in a row, beating Walton in the very last match. Thank you again to Piedmont Bank for their support in making this event such a success.

2022-23 Tennis Commi ttee We are again blessed to have the leadership of our tennis committee Kevin Case and Scott Levy for the upcoming year. They are both avid tennis players and will be representing the tennis department at the board level. Along with their leadership we have, Lori Morlan, Lisa Mannion, Tory Whipple, Christi Luskin, Val McMichael, Tim Klespies, Edward Koller, Matthew Lee, Alex Marchetti, Randy Moore, and Dave Strickland. I am excited about the start of the new year and all we have planned for the year. These volunteer members are representing you and I hope you will support them as we go through the year. Memorial Day – Davis Cup Challenge May 30 at 9 a.m. This is an exciting tennis event where players are assigned to a team representing a Davis Cup country. You will compete at your level against players of like ability. Doubles and mixed doubles will play in a flexible round robin format and each game won by competitors will go towards the total team score. Play begins at 9:30 a.m. and concludes at noon, so you can attend and be ready for other key club events. The cost for this year’s event is $35 per person. Hurry to register as this event continues to be a sell-out! Visit our website’s event calendar to register or call the Tennis Center 770-368-7740.

Save-The-Date! LTA Member/Guest AUGUST 18 AND 19 This event format is a one-day event, however due to its popularity, we host different flights (levels) on two separate days. The experience is the same for both days, fun competitive tennis, and a fabulous luncheon, with both days starting at 9 a.m. The LTA Member/Guest is one of our most popular events and is always a sellout. We want to thank in advance our Ladies Tennis Association leaders who make it such a success every year. Get ready and find a partner for this year’s LTA Member/Guest. We encourage all levels to participate. Registration for both events will open July 11 on the AAC website beginning at 8 a.m.
