2ND YEAR STEP-UP DOUBLES LEAGUE
The second year for this league has begun and over!!
Pictures from Week 5 after the County resurfaced Urban Courts with US Open Colors. They are beautiful and we also requested more sand on the surface. The courts are slower but more sure footed.



FINAL WEEK
Hi All,
On behalf of LATC, thanks for playing 2019 Step-Up season/league and all that participated. Believe we had a successful league with some good dubs and most importantly fun! We only had one default and able to make adjustments not limited to weather, court location(s) and lots of subs to complete season!
Congrats to David Rutherford who ran away with win and Kaarthik Sundar who got second place by one point!!! Prizes for David/Kaarrthik are forthcoming! Attached are the final results.
Looking forward...I plan on having Season 3 in 2020 and will be making some changes that should help the scoring and our annual tournament is this weekend (let me know if you want to play if you haven't already).
Happy Hitting!

WEEK 8
Hi All,
Thanks for playing last Thursday through the intermittent rain/lightning. It got pretty intense and only one court was able to finish. To try and be fair, I've made the decision that we cannot count week 8 scores other than giving everyone a blackjack and court positions for week 9 will not change.
Special Thanks goes to Andrew Tang who stepped in within 30 minutes of notice and played on court 1. Here's what I know for Week 9:
-David Cook is subbing for Sergey
-Ryan Maupin is subbing for Greg
-I'll find 3 subs for the Ratliff's
Other Items:
-HUGE CONGRATS GOES TO LLOYD who become a father Wed. Night
-David R is playing Ryan Ellis tomorrow 3 pm Urban to determine the 4.5 singles Taos champion, they could not complete the match a couple weeks back due to rain. Feel free to come by Urban, should be some competitive points.
-Shellaberger is having Southwest Indoor Championship next weekend which should have some high level players.
Thanks, Tony

WEEK 4
Hi All,
We had a succesful/fun week 4 with some good dubs. Thank all for playing and congrats go to the two David's for blackjacks. If this keeps up, birdman is going to have to start playing left handed!
Attached are week 4 results and this is what I know for week 5, Dave Cook is subbing for Sergey and George is subbing for Gillian. Urban courts are slowly moving along, check out the pic of the south side courts, love the color.
Happy Hitting!

WEEK 3
Hi All,
Thanks for playing this last Thursday at West Mesa. Noah and birdman got blackjacks, well done! Attached are week 3 results with total scores. If I got your scores wrong, let me know.
I went by Urban today and the work crew has put down primer, my guess is the next step is tape off area and put down the adhesive/paint. If the weather holds up, we may be able to play Week 4 at Urban! I'll send out a reminder for week 4 on Wednesday with update of location.
For Week 4, this is what I know so far... David Cook is subbing for Sergey, Tim may sub for Noah and Kevin may sub for Noah or me. Glad to see Kevin back in the mix as we need someone with a big serve to compete with birdman.
Happy Hitting!

WEEK 2
Hi all,
For week 2, we were delayed with the rain but able to get all matches in, well done and thanks for your patience. Attached are the results and total score. David 'Birdman" Rutherford gets top honors with the only blackjack, I was recipient of trying to return his well placed serve and it wasn't pretty for me. Shot of night goes to Tim Martian with a powerful forehand down the line winner.
IMPORTANT: Due to resurfacing at Urban Park courts, next week matches start at 5:30 West Mesa Courts (ie. high school), no lights. If you need for me to find a sub, let me know. I'll send a reminder Wed about week 3 with court lineup.
Some other items:
-Thank You Lloyd for your efforts leading our sucessful hs tennis program which is being transferred over to Birdman's more than capable hands. Looks like Gillian is going to step in and help as well. Lloyd's taking his talents to fatherhood!
-I've requested the contractors resurfacing Urban to add more grit to the court surface to help slow down the pace of ball. Not sure if this will happen, but it's worth trying.
-Best of luck to individuals playing EG tournament this weekend.
Happy Hitting!

WEEK 1
Hi All,
Thanks for all that played in the kick-off to our second season. I wasn't sure that we would get it in due to the rain storm. Congrats to Aaron and Kaarrthik for getting a blackjack and shot of the night goes to Gillian with an inside-out forehand winner on a critical point, Well Done Folks!!!
Thanks David who provided some of his HS boys as subs that played well.
Week 1 results are attached and I'll send out a reminder for Week 2 on Wed. If you cannot play and need a sub, let me know.
We did have a default on court one and I determined to take the average points of the 12 players from courts 2-4 and provide them to court 1 players that were present with 14 average score, afterall we are all in this together, right? If interested, the annual El Gancho Open is next weekend in SF, Jake runs a sound tournament.
Happy Hitting, Folks.

Another wonderful evening with some great tennis and more importantly having fun!

1ST WEEK
First and foremost, LATC thanks you for playing last night in windy/cold conditions. We definitely had some good doubles play going on!!! Alan 'Waffle-Twiener' Williams claims top honors with a straight up black jack (ie. won all three sets!!!!).
From what I saw, Lloyd Wilton had the shot of the night with a deuce side doubles alley service return cross court winner, Well Done Lloyd!!! Secondly Lloyd, LATC appreciates and commends your efforts in fostering the development and growth of our tennis youth!!!!
Now to the business part... attached is week one results. For Court Two, we had 3 players (ie. Aaron, Gilbert, Lloyd) muster a score of 16, yeah guys!! we'll have some sort of 'spin off' to determine who moves up to court 1 next Thursday. If I did not record your score accurately, let me know and I'll send out a reminder about league with court assigments mid-next week.
Special thanks to John Park and Martian Naud (played for 5 1/2 hours straight, please pass thx Lloyd) for stepping in. For those who are playing USTA matches this weekend, Good Luck and let’s show those SF/Alb. jokers true NNM Tennis.
Lastly, mark your calendar for LATC annual tournament August 11-12 and when you get a chance check out our web-site http://www.losalamostennis.usta.com/about_us/ which Bob Nolen has put together.
