James Jeckoy is the Summer league Champ

James Jeckoy defeated Duane Cagle 7-5, 6-2 at Utah Park on 08/02 to win the Summer 2010 singles league. James started the match cautiously watching his opponent's moves and getting the ball back in consistently. Duane broke James' serve in the first set and was threatening to take it away - he actually was serving for it. But James broke back when it mattered and went on to win the first set.

James had seen enough of Duane's game by then and he started playing his more flashier style of Tennis which many admire in the league. It was all James in the second set - serving hard and punishing short balls. He took the second set 6-2.

At the end of the season James' enviable record stands at 10W - 1L. Duane had a pretty good season too until the final - he ended the season with 16W - 6L.

James Jeckoy - Summer 2010 Champ.

We had a great Summer season with over 100 matches played by more than 35 players from all over the Denver metro area. Thank you to all those who participated in the league and we look forward to an even better Fall season.

"Hit With a Pro" Event - Update

Our "Hit With a Pro" event got underway at 10 AM as planned on Sunday August 1st at City Park. Coach Dan Dicke graciously donated some of his time to interact with the participants and gave us some great tips on improving our Tennis. He focussed on minimizing errors while playing from the baseline. We ran through some drills on getting the elevation above the net and landing the ball in the last quarter of the opponents court.

In summary Dan's message was "Always try to hit the ball to the last quarter of your opponents court even if you cant put enough spin or power on the ball. It is better to hit the ball behind the baseline rather than catching the net". After focussing hard on the drill we played a round robin style, super tie-break games against each other. Check out some pics from the event below.


We gave away some goodies courtesy of GolfSmith Tennis at the end of the event. A big thank you to Coach Dan Dicke and all the members who participated in the event. It was a lot of fun!!
