Now that summer is officially winding down, I know that many of you are looking forward to the upcoming indoor tennis season at Liberty. I am anticipating a busy fall and winter on the courts, as all adult and junior programs and leagues will be back in full swing. In addition, we will plan to introduce some new programs as the season unfolds. Whether your interest is recreational or competitive, I encourage you to take advantage of the many diverse tennis opportunities at the club.
Staff Happenings:
I am excited to announce the return of long time Liberty pro Marty Maehr after taking a summer hiatus from the club. Many of Marty’s classes (including the Saturday Co-Ed practice) are among the most popular at Liberty. Welcome back Marty!
Our newest member of the Liberty tennis staff is Will Triebel, who originally hails from Duxbury, MA. Will, who played collegiately at Colby-Sawyer in New Hampshire, will help with weekend clinics and will be available for private lessons. He will also be assisting Dean Boodakian as a coach at Concordia College.

Junior National Tournament Update:
In early August, Liberty junior players Mert Oral, Chakor Rajendra and Sari Woo were selected to participate in the National Junior Hardcourt Championships. This is the highest level of junior competition in the nation. Mert (Boys 18 and under) and Chakor (Boys 16 and under) who attend Greenhills School, competed in Kalamazoo MI. Sari (Girls 16 and under) who attends Skyline High School, competed in San Diego. Mert won two main draw matches before being eliminated by Ben Shelton who reached the singles finals and won the doubles. Sari won 5 matches including a win over the #1 girl in the nation in the 2nd round.
