Mighty Mites Halloween Party

The Mighty Mite Halloween Party was a blast. Mr. CJ hosted his annual Halloween Party this past month. The court was filled with many characters including a mummy, a ballerina, a princess and a scary character. CJ was a faithful Reds baseball player. The kids had fun, CJ was his silly self and the party was a blast. We look forward to having this again next year.

Wickertree & Racquet Club Showdown

We hosted our first of hopefully many club verses club challenges. We teamed up with the Racquet Club and had some of the Futures participants play against their students. It was lots of fun and we had pizza afterwards. As a goal to unify central Ohio's tennis clubs this was a step in the right direction. We will be having more of these in the months to come. Contact Doug DiRosario if you are interested in playing in future Showdowns.

Going to Miss a Program?

Fill out the Cancellation Form near the front desk In furthering communication, I am asking that you fill out a cancellation form when you are unable to particpate for a month or more in your specific program. Forms are available near the front desk. Our pre-billing system is set up to charge your account at the beginning of the month. So, we will bill your account unless we hear from you. Please fill the form out and hand it to the Director of your program. We will then hand that sheet to our accountant to make the proper adjustments and have your notification on record. This will hopefully remove any miscommunications we may have. Feel free to talk to myself or Connie Metzmaier, our billing accountant.
