MASHANTUM UPDATE:
Mashantum is almost ready to open! We expect the courts to be ready for the season soon, and as we complete our Covid-19 protocol, we foresee our
opening during the first week of June. As the state allows, we will evolve to our new normal and provide the appropriate rules for the courts. Please watch for our policy upon opening.
Due to the strict guidelines that we are required to operate under the Commonwealth of Massachusetts
Mandate, we will lock the courts at this time. While we are aware that this may be a disappointment to some, the health and safety of our Mashantum community is our first priority and of utmost importance to all of us. We are hopeful this short "pause" will allow us to have a safe and active 2020 season.
On a very positive note, Jeff Wilson will be ready to answer questions and provide private lessons. Be sure to stop by and say hello.
Looking Forward to June!

The Battle on the Court Quote
A young boy traveled across Japan to the school of a famous martial artist. "How long must I study to become the finest karate-ka in the land?" he asked. "Ten years at least", answered the Master. "But What if I study twice as hard as all the other students?" he asked. "Twenty years", replied the Master. "Wait.. why is it that when I say I will work harder, you tell me it will take longer?" asked the eager boy. "The answer is clear," relied the Master, "when one eye is fixed upon the destination, there is only one eye left with which to find the way".
{Focus on the ball, haha} "Opportunity often comes disguised in the form of misfortune, or temporary defeat." Napoleon Hill (and Jimmy Connors also echoed this sentiment.) |

Court CourtesyTennis is a game that demands intense concentration which can be all too easily
broken by thoughtless interruptions or needless distractions. All players should be familiar with the generally accepted manners and customs of tennis. Here are some examples: - Dress appropriately. Follow the club's rules. - Don't indulge in loud conversations while waiting for a court to become available. - When a court becomes available, don't walk to it by crossing the middle or even the end of another court while play is in progress. Wait at least until the end of the point and then hustle across the back of the court. - When making line calls, always give your opponent the benefit of a doubt. - It's generally considered rude to return a service that is obviously out. - Line calls should be made promptly and clearly. Any ball that is hit without a call is presumed to be good and play should continue. If a serve is clearly out, say so and don't hit the ball unless you wish to prevent it from going into an adjourning court. - When it is your turn to serve, make quite sure that the receiver and/or his partner is ready before you begin your motion. But, it is the receivers responsibility to signal you if his partner is not ready. - Before you serve, announce the score, and any disagreement should be dealt with before the point ensues. - If you should happen to lose a ball on an adjourning court, don't ask for the ball until their point has been completed and don't go behind another court to retrieve a loose ball. - Be sure to sweep the whole court area when you are finished playing. - HAVE A GOOD TIME |
