The new system is in! Next it is hydroseeding.

ATC has contracted with H2Mow Lawn & Sprinkler, LLC to install a new irrigation system. The project is expected to be completed in time to prepare the courts for our usual mid-May opening.

This new irrigation system ensures the club's clay courts remain in top condition, improving the playing experience, conserving water, and saving time and labor. It's a smart investment that helps our tennis club thrive.

You can view more images of the installtion project HERE.

We are preparing for the 2025 season on the red clay courts. We hope you will renew your membership next year or join for the first time. Watch for the announcements in 2025. See you then.

It is time to elect members to the ATC Board of Directors for the 2025 season

The candidates for the Board of Election will be voted upon after Thanksgiving via our evoting app. Please review their biographies on the Board Page on our website. Selection of officers (president, vice president, secretary, treasurer) takes place at the January Board meeting.

Thank you very much.

I think we can all agree that we have had a successful 2024 ATC tennis season. As the season draws to a close, we are thankful to our wonderful staff who have kept the courts in great condition and created tennis opportunities for all who want to play. Our 2024 members tournament attracted lots of competitors and the matches were great to see.

Thank you to our club manager Larry Y. and to our staff including Chris M. and Harry L. Also, thank you to our maintenance and engineering team of Steve B., Dave M. and Steve A. for keeping the infrastructure working. Our Board President, Bruce McB deserves our thanks for so many activities throughout the year. He relentlessly works to keep the ATC a great place to see our friends, play some tennis and take some ribbing. Thanks to our officers (Ned F. treasurer, Theresa C. secretary and Gary H. vice president) for their efforts. Thank you to our pros Chris B. and Jack C. for their support.

We continue to collect tennis balls for reuse and recycling. You can bring your old tennis balls to the ATC and they will be sorted for useable tennis balls for our pros and for recycling through our partner Recycleballs now located in West Virginia.

Thanks to the work of one of our members, we have been accepting used tennis sneakers for reuse. There is a receptacle at the ATC.

You will help the environment and provide footwear for those in need. Last year, we recycled over 5000 tennis balls which were kept out of US landfills. Keep up the great work ATC.

We had a great response for the 15-Love Fundraiser, held on Sunday, October 1 (we were rained out on the originally-scheduled date of September 30) . Over 40 players participated; approximately $2,000 was raised. Herb Schultz, who is a founder of 15-Love in Albany and also a long-time member of ATC, gave opening remarks about the organization and acknowledged the dedication of 15-Love staff and various founders including Arthur Ashe and our own Dr. Manuel Alguero, another long-time member of ATC, who was also in attendance. The organization's goals are focused to reach out to inner-city youth through tennis.  

The Club Tournament is almost concluded in both Open (open to members and non-members) and Closed competitions (members only). Larry will report on the final results, but we want to acknowledge his time and efforts on this massive undertaking, as well as those of Chris Bradt, Assistant Tournament Director. Approximately 60 matches in the open and closed divisions were successfully scheduled. Kudos to both Larry and Chris Bradt for a job well done.
