Warning: Excessive tennis may cause happiness. MORGAN HILL TENNIS CLUB [January | 2026] ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ We’re excited to share this newly reimagined newsletter as part of the Board’s ongoing effort to strengthen communication and transparency within our tennis club. Our goal is to keep members better informed about club activities, seasonal updates, and the decisions that help guide our community forward. Financially, we are focused on responsible stewardship—ensuring dues and fundraising dollars directly support courts, equipment, and events —while also planning sustainably for future seasons. Throughout the year, this space will highlight club goals, budget priorities, upcoming initiatives, and any important announcements that affect our members. Most importantly, we want this to be a two-way conversation. Your participation, feedback, and volunteer support are what make our club thrive, and we welcome your ideas as we continue to grow together on and off the court. Happy hitting ~ The MHTC Board ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎾Club tournament! Our first tournament of 2026 is tentatively scheduled for April 19th. It will be in a Mixed format. Mark it on your calendars. We’ll let you know when it’s time to register. 🥒Pickleball, anyone? The club will be hosting a Pickleball tournament soon. Be on the lookout for important registration dates! 🔊LiveBall - coming soon to a court near you! LiveBall is an interactive, social game with loopy tennis rules and some extra cardio. We’ll be hosting an event soon.This one is on us. The only requirement is that you BYOBeverage🥤. We hope that you have so much fun that you’ll join us for upcoming “First Friday” social club events. More to come on this soon… 🚩Volunteer opportunities - This spring, we’ll have our regular court cleaning party. Volunteers may get cold beers 🤷. Stay tuned for firm dates. 🤞Reminder! Please be sure to remove your garbage. The Club is responsible for garbage removal from the court. If other “garbage” is on the courts and needs professional removal, immediately report it to the City here: SeeClickFix: https://qrco.de/MaintenanceRequest ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🗓️Captains and future captains: League registration schedule can be found here: 2026 USTA NorCal Leagues At-A-Glance.pdf Registration for Adult 18+, and 18+ daytime, and 55 & Over: January 19 - February 17 Once you register, head over to MHTennis.com to pay your court fees! 🌦️Court conditions: We are exploring opportunities to provide more “in-the-moment” updates on court conditions. We’ll keep you posted. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎉Captains! First and foremost, have you been told “thank you” today? If not, THANK YOU! Going forward, this section of the newsletter will be dedicated to helpful information specifically for captains (and anyone else who ventures into captain territory). For example—we recently cleaned the shed! 🎉 Our hope is to keep it that way… and make it significantly less mouse-friendly. Please remember to return scorecards to the table and place scorecard balls back in the plastic ball bin when you’re done. Yes, we know—this may sound a little silly. But trust us, no one wants to walk into a creepy shed, trip over a loose tennis ball, and dramatically end their bright tennis career before the season is over. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated… by both the Board and your ankles. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Financial Updates: Going forward, we want to share a transparent look at the club’s finances. In 2025, after collecting club membership dues, team court fees, tournament entry fees, and banquet ticket sales, the club finished the year with a net loss of $6,245. While some year-to-year fluctuation is expected, our goal is to break even annually, with the ability to slowly build reserves for larger expenses that the City may not cover. This is especially important given the club’s current balance of approximately $15,000, making ongoing annual losses unsustainable. Notable 2025 Expenses Included: Looking ahead, the Board is actively exploring ways to generate additional revenue in 2026 and beyond to help close this gap. As part of this effort, court fees will increase in 2026 to better reflect actual court costs. This adjustment should result in only a few-dollar increase per player per team. To help keep things running smoothly, we encourage captains to collect court fees from players prior to play and ask players to proactively submit payment when requested. Updated team fees: Big Ideas, Modest Budget We love the big ideas and creative suggestions floating around the club! Just a friendly reminder that we’re working with a $60/$25-per-year membership budget, not quite Bay Club money 😄. That said, if you’re excited about a specific improvement and want to help make it happen—through a donation or fundraising—we’re all ears. Send the Board a quick email with your idea and how you’d like to support it, and we’ll take a look to see if it’s something the club can move forward with (possibly even matching the contribution… no promises!). Thanks for helping keep our club fun, functional, and just a little bit fancy.💅 Thank you for supporting the club — your contributions keep our program thriving. From the Editor Thanks for reading this newsletter. I look forward to keeping you updated with Club information and providing a line of communication that works two ways. Feel free to (kindly) reach out to me at lisa.fink.cabassa@gmail.com, or Secretary@mhtennis.com . Mean emails will be immediately deleted. Have a great day! 💜Lisa💜 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Morgan Hill Tennis Club Follow us on Instagram @MorganHillTennisClub!
