I like Flexible Tennis League because :
It's just the right mix of fun and competition. Everyone has different strengths and playing styles, so the variabililty is fun. The schedule flexibility is definitely great and every single person I've met has been really cool and fun to play with.

Things you may not know about me : I've tried to model my game after Nadal, but it turns out the only part of his game I could replicate was the bad knees. Oh, and GO ROCKIES!

Spring 2011 Mixer - Update

We had our Spring 2011 season's mixer at Utah Park on Sunday, April 17th. 12 players joined us at the mixer and it was a lot of fun!! We kicked things off aroung 9 AM with some intros and divided ourselves into 6 teams. For the next 2 hours we played round robin style best of 5 game matches.

At the end team Scott Hunt/James Jeckoy and Steven Healey/Greg Johnson ended up with the most wins. The two teams played in the final and Scott Hunt/James Jeckoy won the match.

It was great to see some new members participate in the mixer. It was also good to catch up with others who are with league for quite some time now. We thank everyone who made it to the mixer and hope to see you on the courts again soon!!

Check out some pictures from the mixer below

I like Flexible Tennis League because :
the flexibility works perfectly with my crazy schedule. Plus, I've met a lot of great people from the league.

Things you may not know about me : I'm a big science nerd. I've also started to dabble into a little bit of philosophy. However, nothing beats the thrill of being outside either running or playing tennis, especially when it gets to a 3rd set tiebreaker!

Ryan Weaver wins the Winter Singles Championship

Ryan Weaver is our Singles Champion for the Winter league. Ryan successfully defended his singles title by defeating David Smith 6-3, 5-7, 7-6 (7-5) in a closely contested match. Congratulations Ryan!! Ryan has previously won the Fall 2010 singles title.

Inspite of starting late in the season, Ryan ran past the competition with 7 Wins and 1 Loss. David had a pretty enviable season himself, with 12 Wins and 1 Loss. Infact, David did not lose a match until the final.

Can anyone challenge Ryan for the title in the Spring season? Time will tell.
