Local Racquet Sports Programs for Southern California incl. San Diego
***LOCAL AREA: L.A. COUNTY - SAN DIEGO COUNTY***
Good Monday morning, everyone.
We’re expanding some more this week, this time in San Diego. Thank you, Angel Lopez and Ryan Redondo for submitting the information. I’m happy that we now have more Padel news, too.
I’m waiting a few more weeks until the newsletter gets much bigger before changing the format a little to accommodate another level of expansion.
PHOTO COMPETITION
Email us a photo of you on a tennis, pickleball, or padel court, and you will enter a drawing for a brand new HEAD Backpack.
Email to [email protected]. Don’t forget your full name and what court you are on.
Btw, if you want to read my report from 2 days at the Wimbledon Championships this year, please sign up for Racket Business, the free monthly newsletter. I’m comparing it quite favorably with the US Open.
Please email me with updates or if you want your programs added. You can also use WhatsApp (Rich Neher / 818-809-8327)
Thank you!
Rich Neher, CEO
