Maintain social distancing of at least two metres, on and off the courts, for maximum safety, at all times.
These Submissions will be Mandatory for all Club Members, both Junior and Adult, beginning on Monday, June 8th.
Hello Tennis Players!
Thank for your interest in our 2020 season and your participation in our first ever week of Junior Tryouts (Try-it-outs?).
We’re very happy to be able to offer lessons to the majority of all of our participants.
Emails have been sent out. Please check your inbox for your lesson groupings, with Coach Jourdyn, Coach Dora and Coach Tom. If you were expecting to hear form me, and you have not, I may have an out of date or missing contact for you. Please send me an email directly to tom@theparisclub.ca, with the name and age of your student and your contact information.
We are going through some hard times these days and I know we all want to get out and play tennis. Sadly our courts in behind the Paris district high school have been and are still closed due to COVID-19. We have been advised by the County of Brant that they will not consider the reopening of the courts until April 6th, at the earliest. As soon as we have more information to report on the reopening dates of the courts, we will send out a message to you via this mailing list.
Memberships are currently available for sale online for the 2020 season. If we are unable to open and run a full season of programming those who have already purchased memberships for the 2020 season will either have the option to extend their membership one extra year without charge or get a full refund.
At this time our opening day get-together may need to be postponed, but at this time we are still hoping to be all to run all of our regular seasonal events, including 2020 club championship and summer fun tournament.
Lesson programming is currently available for registration on the website, however at this time we recommend holding off on signing up due to the uncertainty of our start dates. We hope to be able to offer a full season of lesson programming but we are most concerned at this time about being good citizens of the community.
Thank you for your patience,
Sincerely,
Hudson Tranmer Jr. Member & Volunteer Paris Tennis Club

Junior Fun Day: 6 participants min
Social Doubles Tournament: 12 participants min / 32 participants max

Singles divisions will be based on the 2019 Ladder Play with PTC and Dufferin Club Members. Players with match history will receive seeds and byes into the tournament draws.
Format will follow a double loss-elimination bracket so players will fall into a relegation bracket with their first loss.
RULES For the SINGLES and DOUBLES tournaments:
Each Round of Play will be first TWO of THREE mini-sets to FOUR games, win by two. A tiebreaker to 7 points will be played at 3-3. Early Rounds will be played with no-ad (deciding point), and the third “set” will be played as a 10-point tiebreaker. Later matches will be full games, based on court scheduling and availability.
DOUBLES TEAMS will play a ROUND ROBIN SCRAMBLE format. Your entry into the tournament is as a solo and you will be paired up with a new partner each round. Keep track of your games and sets won to determine Doubles Champions for 2019!
Club Nights for social play continue through the end of September, on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday nights. Come on out and get your hits in before the winter comes along and shuts us down for the season.
Lessons from Monday for Juniors have been consolidated onto Wednesday nights for the remainder of the season to best accommodate players and coaches. We may be looking at a time bump as the month progresses to begin all sessions at 5:30 in order to take best advantage of the available light.
I just wanted to jump in here with a quick message regarding the conclusion of our first week of 8-sessions, and the availability of lessons packages for the remainder of the outdoor season. We will be planning lessons through the end of September, so stay sharp for the Club Championships by renewing in a lesson series today.
First off, a big thanks to everyone with their patience with the weather delays this season. It has reminded me how much headache could be saved if we had facilities that could accommodate practices in the rain 😛
We have some VERY exciting Tennis initiatives and partnerships for 2019 in our community to announce in the coming weeks, so stay tuned to the PTC newsletter and make sure to enjoy all the hits you can this season.
