Good Monday morning, everyone.
This is our final issue of the year. Lots has happened in 2024 since we started the Drumbeat newsletter. The format is now a little closer to what I envisioned when we published the first issue half a year ago on June 17. Still working on improving it, though.
The year 2025 will be a pivotal year for Conga Sports Drumbeat. We’ll start off this week with a new engagement campaign to expand our reader base. The next issue on January 6 will feature one of the staples of racket sports in SoCal: LA Tennis and LA PickleClub. We also trust that many more racket sports providers will list their programs and events in Drumbeat.
This is what happened in our Facebook group ‘Racket Sports Connect Los Angeles’ last week:
Tennis Tip Tuesday on December 23, 2024
Pickleball Tip Wednesday on December 24, 2024
Padel Tip Thursday, December 26, 2024
HAPPY NEW YEAR, everyone. May 2025 be healthy, prosperous, and fun for you!
Rich Neher, CEO, Conga Sports

Maclynn's matchmakers commit their time to their Private Members, individuals who pay for active service, then tap into their network of Open Members to hand-select the best matches and make one-on-one introductions. Pretty neat system, if you ask me.
