Tennis Anyone?
April 16th, 2008 categories: Around Town, Events
Here in Chico, California, we are lucky to have so many great resources for fun and leisure. One of the best resources to learn or to develop a new skill or hobie, is the Chico Area Recreation and Parks District (C.A.R.D).
Their motto is, “Helping People Play”. And, that is just what they do.
This week will be the last of a 3 week (6 session) class for learning the basics of tennis I have enjoyed with my wife, mother-in-law, and about 10 other folks. We have really enjoyed the classes taught by, patient and entertaining, tennis instructor, Jerry Brayton.
But, the best part could very well be the free use of the ball machine that cranks out ball after ball.
Classes meet Tuesdays and Thursdays, 6:30 to about 7:30pm at the Community Park Tennis Courts… check their website for future classes.
In addition to tennis, CARD offers many other activities and events for people of all ages and interests. Things like; soccer, dance, kung fu, computer classes, Movies in the Park, various trips and tours, and so much more…
It is really a terrific local resource that offers something for just about everyone. So, if your looking for something recreational and fun to do this Spring, check out CARD.
Hi , my husband and moved to Redding, Ca. last year. We joined Sun Oaks - a nice club - but the only one in town. We don’t know very many people, so it’s still difficult finding people to play with. He’s a 3.5 and I’m a 2.5. We would love meet other people who want to get together and play some tennis. I know it’s a long way from Chico to Redding, so maybe we could alternate visits… If you are interested, e-mail me/us @ nancyndan@aol.com
