Tennis Tip of the Month: When you are playing the net in doubles it is important to look for opportunities to poach. These are some situations to look for:               When your partner hits a good serve down the middle of the service box.              When there is a deep ball hit down the middle of the court.             When your opponents hit a weak return or shot. We are very excited about courts two and three being resurfaced. These courts are playing great so please come and try them out.   More About Matt McKenzie A two-sport athlete at Irmo High School, Matt McKenzie played on 5 Class AAAA State Championship teams and received the J.C.
