There will be a USTA Senior Mixed Doubles league this fall, along with the regular USTA men’s and women’s Super Senior Early Start Leagues. Both leagues will be combined ratings this year. Which means 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, etc. You can have only 1 level between players. So for example, a 6.0 team could have two 3.0 players or a 2.5 and a 3.5 player; a 7.0 team could have two 3.5 players or a 3.0 and a 4.0. Last year the levels were different for Super Senior. If you have any questions you can contact Ruth Fuchs ruthleagues@aol.com.

The Senior Mixed League - starting the week of October 14, 2007 league coordinator is Linda Helixon. Please e-mail her at: lhelixon@amfam.com.

Thanks website readers for your comments. We have been asked to provide clarification on line calls and what to do in the event of miscalls. So, a new page called Tennis Rules has been added. (See the list on the left of this page) The contents of the page were found on www.tennisserver.com. The rules are NOT USTA - they are for unofficial tennis matches only.

The Roadrunners, Carolyn Herron’s women’s 3.0 senior USTA, team just finished first at Sectionals. They won 4 matches out of 4 so will be heading to Indian Wells October 26th through the 28th.

Way to go team!

Ray’s tip for this month is on serving. If you want to win:

Vary your speed & spin.

Doubles, serve down the middle.
—–less court to protect
—–lower net, higher percentage
—–exception, serve to the weaker side
