CONGA DRUMBEAT Local Racquet Sports News Southern California
Los Angeles/San Fernando Valley/Orange County/Coachella Valley/San Diego

Good Monday morning to all Southern California tennis players!
The first-ever issue of CONGA DRUMBEAT is still quite skinny but that’s OK. Word will spread fast in the coming weeks and months and clubs, as well as independent teaching pros in the Tennis/Pickleball/Padel space, will allow us to post their local programs and events every Monday morning.
I want this newsletter to be your go-to place for racquet sports information in your local area. Please email us if you know of events and programs (clinics, Liveball, tournaments, parties, anything racquet sports-related) that need more participants.
Congratulations to Melissa Detweiler, Founder and Creator of ‘Henry The Sports Bug’ for winning the Oncourt Offcourt raffle!
Thank you!
Rich Neher, CEO
