The IronOaks Tennis Club’s (IOTC) Welcome Back Fall Fiesta brought players together for fun, fashion, and flavorful tacos to celebrate the return of tennis season.
The IronOaks Tennis Club officially launched the new tennis season in style with its annual Welcome Back Fall Fiesta on Nov. 1 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The lively event welcomed returning members and new players alike for a morning filled with tennis, community spirit, and Southwest-inspired fun.
The festivities began with a tennis apparel sale on the Fitness Center patio at 9 a.m., featuring a colorful selection of gear and clothing. The sale was a hit with attendees and raised essential funds to support upcoming club activities and events.
At 10:30 a.m. players took to the courts for social play, a hallmark of IOTC gatherings, offering friendly doubles matches and plenty of laughter. The morning wrapped up with a Make Your Own Tacos lunch at noon, provided by the talented Valley of the Sun ladies team, Party at the Net. Their generous hospitality and culinary creativity added a delicious finale to a day that embodied the camaraderie and enthusiasm that define IronOaks Tennis Club.
“The Fall Fiesta is one of our favorite ways to welcome everyone back to the courts,” said CJ Berry, president of IronOaks Tennis Club. “It’s not just about great tennis—it’s about friendship, laughter, and the shared energy that makes our club such a special community. Seeing so many familiar faces and a few new ones reminds us how strong the love of the game is here at IronOaks.”
“This event really sets the tone for the whole season,” added Kristina Traylor, tennis play director. “From the early morning apparel sale to the last serve of social play, you could feel the excitement and connection everywhere. It’s the perfect kickoff to what we know will be another fun, active, and memorable year on the courts.”
