Calling all Tennis Pods to Spring into Action Starting March 15 – Registration Opens February 16
The Lafayette Tennis Association will be offering some outdoor tennis exercise to Lafayette students and friends in the afternoons. We will have virus-safe hour long classes of 4-6 players on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday at 3:30PM, 4:30PM and 5:30PM on the two upper courts at Lafayette Park. If you have a pod of family, friends and/or classmates, you can register for the same class and play tennis with them. Go to https://lafayettetennisdmv.jumbula.com/#/lta-home to register for the same class time on your own, or contact Paul Rosenbaum at rosenbaumpaul@msn.com or text at 202 441-0925 and he can reserve a class time by day, time, age and skill level that you and your pod-mates can secure with password access.

The classes are smaller that in the past so they will be filling up quickly. You can waitlist for a particular class. We will be using all appropriate COVID-19 safety measures to ensure that we are enjoying tennis in a safe mode.

There are a few classes for older kids too. So if you have Deal or Blessed Sacrament siblings that want to play with their friends, they can join one of those classes. Contact Paul Rosenbaum if you have any additional questions or need help getting through the registration.
Submissions for next week's issue should be emailed to news@lafayettehsa.org. Submissions are due by 9:00 p.m. on Sundays. Submissions received after this time will be included in the following issue, unless instructed otherwise.
