Dear Lakeside Members,
I am very excited to say that I will be back at Lakeside for my fifth year! I am looking forward to meeting all the friends and members and carrying on the hard work. Also returning will be some of the pros from last year- Sara Viebrock, Selina Dorfi, Adam and Keith Beizer.
I would like to welcome all the new members to Lakeside Field Club. If there is anything I could help you with, if you have any questions regarding anything, please email or call me.
SPRING SESSION: We will begin the season on Sat, May 28, Memorial Day Weekend. We will have a Men’s Open Clinic, 9-10:30, and Ladies Clinic, 10:30-12, and a Children’s Clinic from 12-1 pm. I encourage everyone to come out and hit some balls. We will have a Round Robin Mixer for Adults on Mon, May 30th from 4-6 pm.
After Memorial Day, we will carry on the Sat morning adult clinics, the Thu night Mixed Clinic, and an evening clinic for the men on Mondays. Lance Dorfi will be running the evening clinics, from 6:30-8, for the month of June. There will be no morning ladies clinics till June 27th.
SUMMER: Once school is over, on June 24th, I will be present at Lakeside everyday for the morning ladies clinics, junior camp, junior league matches, evening clinics, and other activities.
Junior Camp: Six weekly camps will run from Mon, June 27- Fri, Aug 5. We have one hour classes from 10:30, 11:30 and 12:30, four days a week. You may sign up for any time slot that suits you the best. There is no distinction between any time slot. Once you are on the court, you will be with the children of your age and ability and every lesson will be tailored to your needs.
Typically, the 10:30-11:30 time has been taken by the children 10 and over. 11:30-12:30 is usually reserved for the C team players. The 12:30-1:30 time has mostly seen kids aged 9-10 or younger. Hope to see you on Mon, June 27th at 9 a.m. at the Clubhouse for the Parents Meeting. Please bring your schedules so we can reserve the camp spots for the kids. I would really appreciate it if you could mail/email me the Camp Registration Form before June 27th, or as soon as you know your child’s summer schedule so I can be better prepared.
If the kids have any requests like being in a group with one of their friends, that’s absolutely fine. I encourage all the pros to create a very nurturing, loving, and supportive environment for the kids so they can have a positive experience. Most kids end up making some great friends, learning a new skill, and having a blast in the process.
Junior Team: Lakeside has two teams- the A and the C team- competing in the Northern Westchester League. The children who were on their respective teams last year will stay on the teams for this year as well. For all new participants, please inform me about your participation and we can arrange for a try-out session. Children trying out must have the ability to serve and rally from the baseline, and have an understanding of the scoring system.
For the Adult Events, Dogwood League, USTA 3.0 league, Friday night tennis, pricing, etc., please check our brochure. All tennis billing will be handled directly by me and not by Lakeside. You may pay by cash or write a check to Akash Lamba. For any questions or suggestions, please email me at lakesidetennis@gmail.com or call at 203-448-8239. Looking forward to seeing everybody and having a great summer.
Sincerely,
Akash Lamba
