Tennis Club Opening Its Doors for Free

Member, Seacoast Tennis Club Board of Directors

The board of directors of the Seacoast Tennis Club of North Hampton NH has
invited the coaches of the local area high school boys and girls tennis teams to use the Seacoast facilities at no cost.

This gesture which had been done informally in the past is an effort to expand the Club’s support for local area high school teams, especially during the beginning of the season when weather affects the ability to play outside.

Seacoast, which is a member owned facility, hosts its annual Ingaard Tennis
Tournament in August when New England based tennis professional and college
players along with other local area tennis players participate in a tournament to raise money to support the funding of the local area high school teams.

Any high school coach need only email Lisa Urdanoff a Seacoast Board member at lisa@plaicecover.com to make arrangements. The times available are after 7:30PM.

Exeter, Portsmouth, Winnacunnet, St. Thomas, York ME and Berwick have all been contacted to hold their spring practices at Seacoast while we await warmer weather.

Seacoast is a wonderful tennis facility with four indoor and outdoor courts and
the best lighting anywhere. Its resident USTA pro Chum Steele has a significant
tennis pedigree including playing at Wimbledon, US Open and other well-known
tournaments and is the Davis Cup coach for Lithuania. Chum has been giving clinics to many of the local high school tennis players all winter.

For anyone interested there are reduced rate junior memberships for the summer as well as affordable summer memberships for the entire family.
