MNTC MONTHLY RACQUET
Dear Tennis Family and Friends,

Happy New Year. We hope you all had a peaceful - and healthy - start to the new year. We are very much looking forward to some great tennis in 2022.

As COVID numbers in the area continue to rise, masks remain required at all times while at the tennis center, which also includes while playing on the court. 

Members and guests are also required to present their vaccine card or a photo of the card the first time they enter the facility. 

Please review the information for friends of the university the W&M Path Forward website .

On January 10th, our beloved Neely will return to MNTC. As many of you may know she has been on leave since October while mourning the loss of her son Baylor. Please read the note below from Neely as she extends her sincere appreciation for all your love and support during this extremely difficult time.

Be Well,

Michael
A message from Coach Neely: 
Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for your love, support, generosity, and kindness. 

Your flowers, cards and gifts were beautiful and uplifting. The meals fueled our bodies and comforted our souls. 

Your outpouring of love meant so much to us and our family in our greatest time of sorrow. Our tennis community & MNTC family is the best there could be.  

We love you, appreciate you, and are forever grateful for you.
 
Because of all of YOU we will be stronger & will let all of your heartfelt love pour out of us in all that we do. We thank you for that GIFT that will not be taken for granted.  

We welcome talking about everything, please don't worry about saying the wrong thing.  

I have missed all of you and look forward to getting back out on the court.   
Love,
Coach Neely

Pro Tip of the Month

Want to generate more power? Don’t swing faster. Make sure the racket head is above the hand in your take back, not below. This creates a range of motion, allowing you to produce effortless power!
