A beautiful Spring day served as the perfect setting for the first tournament of the year for MVTC. The March Team Tennis had 49 players split into four teams – Red, White, Blue and Black, captained by Roy Molseed, Liz Chambers, Perry Lim and Larry Drenan. Team members wore their team colors and had a fun day of mens, womens and mixed doubles. The format gave opportunity for everyone to play with many partners against many other teams. It also gave those who sat out the opportunity to watch some good tennis and make new friends and renew old friendships.
The volunteers helped make it a great event. Jo-Ann Smith, Noah Banks, Sameer Ladiwala, Debbie Ryan, Douglas Woolverton, Jean-Luc Marce, Kendrick Lau, Peter Dollinger and many other players volunteered to help with the food and to set up and clean up. Thanks to everyone who contributed their efforts to make it a wonderful Team Tennis tournament . Everyone had a great deal of fun.
Carol Tolen put in a lot of effort getting the medals, making sure the signups went very smoothly and organizing in general in spite of her injury. Jill Nagahara-Evans did an outstanding job with the food. The salads Jill made personally and the sandwiches got several rave reviews from the players. Myrna Irigon did a great job keeping the tournament going and even substituting in as needed.
Thanks to the captains for taking on the responsibility, and largely keeping it on time. The Blue team was in first place with 121 games won, followed by White with 95 games, Red with 86 and Black with 84. Regardless of the scores, everyone enjoyed the great tennis, food and company. The photos courtesy Jill Nagahara and Myrna Irigon are posted on mvtc.net. Thanks to everyone who played and made this a great tournament.
Best,
Madan, Carol and Jill
