The Cottonwood Palo Verde Homeowners Association approved an outreach program that allows anyone from Sun Lakes and nearby communities to attend a free Tennis Clinic on Mondays at 6:30 p.m. These free clinics are open to all levels, whether just learning or needing a tune-up to the game, and they are held at the Cottonwood Country Club tennis courts from Oct. 1 through April 1. If you don’t own a racquet, no worries. We have extras on hand. No sign-up is necessary. Just show up in court-appropriate shoes.
Al Wagner, the head instructor, has over 30 years of experience as a tennis coach. He is assisted by Cottonwood Tennis Club members Barb Jorgensen, who recently completed USTA Coaching Certification, and Ollie Johnson, who has assisted with this clinic for years.
In addition to the free Tennis Clinic, the Cottonwood Palo Verde HOA has also approved allowing anyone from Sun Lakes to play on Thursday evenings at 6:30 p.m.—no need to join, and no cost to players. All ability levels are welcome to participate in this doubles format.
