New ball machine approved & purchased

The purchase of a new ball machine was approved by the club membership at a special general meeting today.

The Playmate Ace is a well regarded commercial-grade machine, and was recommended by our tennis pro, Tony Geraci, Rich Vernsey of Wrigley's Tennis, and other local clubs.

You will need to attend a training session before using the ball machine. There will be seven training sessions in December, starting on December 11th. Sign-up sheets are posted on the bulletin board at the Charlotte Courts. Additional Ace Ball Machine training sessions will be organized in the new year.

Come January 2026, there will be weekly ball-machine sessions (using, not learning how to use) for novice and beginner players from 3:30 - 4:30.
