You know that the South Palm Beach County Women’s Tennis Association season is in full force when you start seeing more women in tennis outfits at Publix. Tennis matches for all levels started Monday, September 17, 2007 and continue through May, 2008. Over twelve hundred women from their twenties upwards participate in the league’s weekly matches.

Teams are composed of up to sixteen players from various country clubs, neighborhoods, community centers and public courts. There are nine divisions and anywhere from seven to fourteen teams in a division, with division one being the strongest players. Matches start at 10 a.m. and conclude with lunch hosted by the home team. Depending on how you play and/or the venue, lunch can be the highlight of the day.

Changes to the league this year include a new rule about footfaults and the addition of flexible scheduling for matches on weeks taking place near religious holidays. Rule books have been distributed to all team captains and rosters and team scores will continue to be available and updated throughout the year at www.spbcwta.org. There are still openings on several teams and if you are interested in joining the league refer to the website.

Good luck to all players and especially Swim and Racquet Club Team 4. Let the games begin!
