Five Seasons Adult 3.5 team rocks River Oaks

Captain Dick is wondering what happened as Captain Gallo of Five Seasons has his Cheshire smile on. The "General"..Dick.. was not use to this position.....

Off to a great start...

The "IT" Girls of Summer powered up in red and enjoyed their first home match of the season with a win over Chagrin Valley 3. We enjoyed being at River Oaks seeing familiar friends and the home courts were a definite advantage! Diane closed off her match 1,2 receiving "grab" bag honors! We are on the road for the next couple of weeks, but will look forward to returning "home" June 10. Towpath here we come....

The "IT" Girls of Summer are back!

The "IT" Girls of Summer are welcoming the start of the USTA season! Welcome to our new team mate: Melanie Schilling. Over the past few months we have played tennis, drilled tennis, dreamed tennis...."ONE GOAL"....(hmmmm heard that somewhere, GO CAVS!)...WIN TENNIS! Let's continue to live life...some pictures from the past!

A little video of the National playoffs

He took one for the team

You couldn't believe how much blood there was! Playing on Friday afternoon with Bob Barker, Mike Crider reached up for an overhead and caught his foot and fell backwards on the court cracking open a large gash in his head. Fortunately our team doctor Dave Bennhoff was there and applied pressure to stop the bleeding. The USTA trainer finally arrived and strongly suggested that Mike leave the courts and go to the hospital. But Mike, being a true team player and competitor wanted to continue the match. The trainer said he couldn't play with blood on his clothes. Mike, who by this time had a series of band aids on his head skillfully applied by good doctor Dave, whipped out a clean shirt from his bag, and a pair of used shorts, then went behind the windscreen and changed.....much to the delight of the ladies who were watching his silhouette as he changed!... Although he and Bob didn't win their match we must cheer Mike for his team spirit. Afterwards he did check into the emergency room and came back to dinner that night with five staples in his head!
