This is going to be a short one. We're about halfway through summer classes, and the LED lighting has taken a lot of my time and brain space since the last newsletter. As always, I enjoy hearing from you.

Lottery Closes Tomorrow, July 15, at Noon
If you haven't entered the seasonal lottery yet, time is running out. The lottery closes at noon tomorrow, July 15. Learn everything there is to know about the lottery here.
LED Project is Complete
The LED lights are installed and they are beautiful! We've received raves from our players, players at other facilities, and representatives of other facilities who have come by to take a look! If you haven't seen them yet, stop by and check them out or, better yet, make a reservation and play under them. We think you'll love them as much as we do. We love the way they resemble skylights and follow the contour of the ceiling, which makes the courts feel much more open. And that's not even mentioning the dramatically increased light levels! We know we already had some of the best lighting in the Portland area, and now it's so much better.
Here are a couple of iPhone photos that don't do them justice, but do give you an idea of how they look.
We know some other facilities in this area are interested in this same system, so you may see these lights more and more as you play at other clubs. #trendsetters
Fall Registration: August 8
Registration for fall classes is August 8 at 10 a.m. for residents, and August 15 for everyone. If you have a player in the Jr. Competitive Program, you'll be hearing from me soon so we'll have everything set for registration on August 8.
Maintenance Closure
We will be closed for annual maintenance from August 19-31. We will reopen on September 1, which is also the first day of seasonal reservations.
Hello, Jr. Competitive parents and players!
It's time to sign up for summer tennis!
As we did last summer, we have the Jr. Competitive Program running on a weekly basis this summer. All classes will be Monday-Thursday, except the week of July 4 (Week 3), which will be Tuesday-Thursday. Just choose the weeks you're available!
The weeks are as follows:
Week 1: 6/20-6/23
Week 2: 6/27-6/30
Week 3: 7/5-7/7
Week 4: 7/11-7/14
Week 5: 7/18-7/21
Week 6: 7/25-7/28
Week 7: 8/1-8/4
Week 8: 8/8-8/11
Week 9: 8/15-8/18
The cost is $80 per week for Lake Oswego residents, and $100 for non-residents. Week 3 is prorated because of the July 4 holiday: $60 for residents, and $75 for non-residents.
The program is divided into two levels for summer. Here is the best way to sum it up for you, since you've been in the program during the school year: if you were in Mon/Wed 4pm, or Tu/Th 4:30pm, you should most likely be in Level 1. If you are in (or just finished) elementary school, you should be in Level 1. If you played for a high school team (either JV or Varsity), or if you were in the Mon/Wed 3p, Mon/Wed 5:30p, or Tue/Thu 3p, you should be in Level 2. If you aren't sure where you should be, please call the Tennis Center at 503-635-5550 and clarify. We'll be glad to help.
Level 1 is from 12-1:30p, and Level 2 is from 1:30-3p.
To summarize:
You should be in Level 1 if:
- You were in Mon/Wed 4p
- You were in Tue/Thu 3:30p
- You are in, or just finished, elementary school
You should be in Level 2 if:
- You were in Mon/Wed 3p
- You were in Mon/Wed 5:30p
- You were in Tue/Thu 3p
- You played JV or Varsity tennis for a high school team
You can register online at loparks.org (search for Jr. Competitive), or call us at the Tennis Center at 503-635-5550. We're happy to help you find the right class!
