anyone who runs it. “Wait a minute,” you are thinking, “we have a Board
consisting of the people in the column to the left. Of course we have
someone who runs it.” What I mean
is that every single task is done by a volunteer. There is no one person
who is paid to take care of putting it all together. There is no one place
where the myriad details are compiled so that if a problem arises the
documents can be looked at as a whole. Our documents are spread out over
at least 10 different computers that are not linked. Every single event,
league and function is on a different computer and behind each computer is
a volunteer who cares deeply about the BTA. Unfortunately these wonderful
volunteers get overwhelmed and sometimes burn out pretty quickly, but they
hang in there because they do care. They realize the importance of having
an affordable community tennis association that provides quality services
to their members. Our
Association has grown incredibly and our services have expanded, but in
looking over the past few years’ records I see the same names doing many
tasks in the same year. No wonder I see very few past Board members still
on our membership roll. In the next few months as you participate in the
various activities ask yourself, “What have I given back to the BTA?” If
the answer is, “Nothing,” think about changing that as soon as possible. OK. Enough
of that, on to the good stuff. League play
is in full swing and we have some winners! Talking
about swinging, come join the swinging Saturday morning group at
Centennial. 8 –11 am. See inside. The Ned
Crow Tournament, open to all, is a great way for first time tournament
players to get their feet wet. An application is enclosed. Diane Bohan
is working on ideas for the Adult/Child day of tennis fun. She is looking
for both tennis playing kids without a tennis adult and tennis playing
adults without a tennis kid. She will match you up. Also people with ideas
and volunteers to help run the event to take place late August or early
September should call Diane at 303-499-5571. Valmont is
progressing and will be needed more than ever since the controversy about
the CU courts has become like a tennis ball being volleyed between the
City and the County. Going to the meetings about the courts leaves me
dizzy. But Valmont……aahhhhh. It is looking good. Kudos to
Kjersten Buzek of the Boulder Parks & Rec. She is making sure our
public courts are being maintained (check out Martin Park!) and reserved
when necessary. Send me
your tennis gossip. newsletter@bouldertennis.org I hope
you are having a great tennis summer!

was a finalist in the Austin Scott 5.0 Men’s Doubles. Not only is he a BTA
Member but he is our website guru. Thanks for all you do, David. CONGRATULATIONS “I just received word from Shirley Laudenschlager
that the 3.0 Super Senior Ladies are going to district play
-offs! Congratulations to the
HOW TO REACH THE BTA
team!”--Lainie Harris (Co-Ordinator)
New to the BTA? Want to meet people? As
the ladder chairman and a long time ladder member, I naturally think the
ladders are a great way to play tennis --- meet new tennis friends, reestablish
old relationships, and practice for tournaments and leagues all in a
competitive, but friendly environment.
Currently, the BTA has only three
ladders, men's singles, women's singles and women's doubles, but we would
gladly sponsor more, e.g., men's doubles or senior singles, if there is any
interest.
Good luck with all your matches, whether they are on the ladder or not.

COURT ETIQUETTE FOR LEAGUE PLAY
Because of recent complaints here are a few suggestions to keep harmony
on the courts.
1.
Scheduled League Matches take precedence over make-up
matches.
2.
Scheduled League Matches
going into overtime take precedence over the next scheduled League Match.
3.
Be courteous. If a Match
is going on beside or behind you talk quietly and enter or leave the courts
between games (not points) unless the players on that court indicate otherwise.
CONGRATULATIONS to Mara Frazier’s 3.5 USA Combined Mixed Doubles Team for winning the Local Division and advancing to District Playoffs. In an extremely close match on Saturday, June 22, they lost 1-2. WE’RE PROUD OF YOU 3.5’S!!
