Good Morning Parents,
I received excellent news yesterday. We are now being allowed to return to the courts and begin programming again for Grech Tennis @ Kennedy High School. I want to thank all of the parents and students for all of your support during the last year that we have been off. As we start again, there will be a few changes at first. I will only be doing private lessons and groups of no more than 4 students at any given time. There will be no Saturday doubles match play, but, we may have singles match play if we have enough participants. For those that have participated in our USTA JTT leagues, I spoke with the USTA yesterday and the format will be changing a bit. No one is quite sure yet, but, there will be some type of "team" participation. We should have more information by the middle to end of March for the spring season. We will be observing proper distancing and when not actually playing or hitting balls we will be wearing masks. I suggest that students look into using tennis gloves, if parents are concerned. There will be hand sanitizer to be used before we go on court and a sanitizer station on the court itself. Each student will be given a ball tube for his/her use during the lesson (it will be marked with their number, assigned before class starts) and there will be disinfectant wipes available to wipe it down after every use. As of right now, I am not sure who is willing and/or interested in coming back. I am thinking of beginning lessons again on Saturday March 13th. So, I need everyone who sees this email to get back to me with a preference for a private lesson or a group class or to let me know they will not be coming back I will try and organize my schedule to work around parent's schedules. My plan is to teach Wednesday through Friday 3:30pm to 8:30pm, Saturday from 8:00am to 5:00pm and Sunday 8:00am to 2:00pm.However, since we have been gone so long, not sure how this is going to shake out yet. I will try and accommodate all requests, but ask for your patience as we begin again. Please get back to me with your preferences. Also, please let me have your child's name and current age and if they have been playing, the ball color they have been using (Red, Orange, Green or Yellow). Once we begin to firm up a schedule, I will gather credit card info for payment. Once again, thank you all for your patience. Hope to see you on the courts ASAP. Kindest Regards, Coach Joe Grech Comments are closed.
