SPTC Members and Community,

A lot of exciting things have been going on “behind the scenes” at SPTC this past week. All for the purpose of getting you all back to the courts. While most things are within our control, there are some things, court lighting for example, that are not.

Following a SPTC Board meeting this past Monday, due to the excessive lead times to secure court resurfacing contractors, it was decided to forgo a complete court resurfacing at this time. We want to get you back playing tennis in the shortest time possible. We are awaiting delivery of court material, and it is our plan to have 19 of our 20 courts up and running by the end of November. A tall task given the condition of the hardest hit courts - but we’ll get it done!

It’s time to come out and play some tennis! Our ‘new’ hours of operations will be Monday through Friday, from 7:30am-5:30pm, with Saturdays and Sundays remaining 7:30am – 2:00pm. Afternoon play will be somewhat limited on Mondays and Wednesdays, until we get more courts “green” again. As a result, playing times will be limited to 90 minutes session, and group play will be limited to two courts per group. You can find available court times through the Court Reserve App.

Starting next week, Nov 4th, our Courier’s Kids junior tennis programming will return to its normal days and will be starting a half hour earlier: 4:00p - 6:00pm. Note: no changes for our Lil’Red/ Red Ball Kids. We are hopeful that we can continue to draw the number of participants we enjoyed prior to Helene/Milton. We will monitor to see if we will need to make any changes to accommodate full enrollment. We are happy to have the kids back on the courts!

This week, our Pros have resumed their busy teaching schedules and will publish their schedules on Court Reserve (note, not all pros will not be viewable on the app at this time, but 80% are online).

We have been very fortunate to have Chris & Nicole Zibailo spearheading our Court Reserve rollout and maintenance. You may have already noticed emails from Chris encouraging you to renew your membership. As a thank you for your patience, we have decided to extend your renewal by 3 months (15 months for the price of 12!). We appreciate your support and understanding as we work to fully recover from the storms.

More great news: Chris Zibailo has graciously donated his Slinger ball machine to the Tennis Center, so you can get in your stroke practices. Thank you, Chris!

Again, Hours of Operation:

Monday through Friday 7:30am - 5:30pm (with no closure for watering)
Saturday/Sunday 7:30am - 2:00pm
We will continue to update you on our court renewal progress, as well as when we can restart league play. You can expect another update by next Thursday, Nov 7th by 5:00pm.

Thank you for your continued patience,

Jack Bailey; General Manager/Director of Tennis; St Petersburg Tennis Center ... See MoreSee Less
