SIGN UPS for Winter 2026 drills with Marty at Hopewell Tennis Club - PLEASE RESPOND

[Maureen Myers]

Hello everyone,

**IMPORTANT**PLEASE RESPOND ASAP AS WE ARE WORKING FAST TO BE ABLE TO START ON TIME.

The frost is on the pumpkins, so we will be going indoors very soon - Monday 12/1/2025 - the Monday after Thanksgiving.   I need to move SUPER fast to get the drills filled so we can be ready for the week after Thanksgiving, so here goes!  

Ideally we need 6 regulars per drill.  I send out emails each week to confirm attendance for that week.  The sooner I know someone cannot make a drill, the better, so if you know you'll be out on vacation or whatever, please let me know asap.  If a regular cannot make it any given week, then I will get a sub (unless the regular got one). However, life happens so there may be times when we have 4 or 5.  I try not to let this happen as it directly affects Marty's payment for the drill.

Last winter, a drill with 5 or 6 participants will cost $40 cash each person.  If there are only 4, then $45 cash.  I believe this will be changing for the better - just trying to confirm the new amount for 6 people but believe it is $35, possibly less.  We will cancel if there are less than 4 participants.  Please pay Marty directly. 

I hope that I have captured everyone that wants to be notified.  If not, please check your spam inboxes and let me know.  To get the weekly Marty emails for subs and seasonal sign ups, you need to join the google group - martys-ten...@googlegroups.com - or you can ask me to add you or your friends.  If you are getting this email directly from martys-ten...@googlegroups.com, then you are already a member and should continue to get the weekly emails looking for subs and this "Sign Up" email.

So, for the 2025 - 2026 winter indoor session, we are looking for both "regular players" who come each week at the same time - as well as subs. You can also do both or let me know if you'd like to be taken off the list completely.  If all you want to do is sub and are receiving this email directly from me, then no need to respond as this is also the list I use for subs.

Here is the deal:

We plan to start Monday, December 1, 2025 -   at Hopewell Tennis Club - 111 Titus Mill Road Pennington, NJ  http://www.hopewelltennis.com.

Right now, we have FIVE 90 minute drills per week confirmed.   Please be as flexible as possible in letting me know your choices.  It's not unusual for 18 people to want a spot in a 6 person drill, so your flexibility helps tremendously in getting yourself a spot!

Monday from 9:00 - 10:30am

Tuesday from 10:30am - 12:00pm

Wednesday from 9:00am - 10:30am

Thursday from 9:00am - 10:30am

Friday from 12:00 - 1:30pm

  

Due to changing schedules, we have 4 seasonal sessions at Marty's - Spring, Summer, Fall and one long session in the winter.  This will be the WINTER 2026 session and typically runs through sometime in April - exact date TBA..  We will go through this process again for the SPRING session when we go back outdoors to Marty's place.  ALL of the winter indoor drills will be at Hopewell Tennis Club.  Please note that the spring, summer and fall sessions are all outdoors at Marty's.  We "clean the slate" with each session, so if you are in a particular drill in any session, please don't automatically assume that you will keep that spot in the next session.  I try my best to keep everyone happy and the more flexibility you have, the easier it is for me.  I also try to keep skill levels together.  Your flexibility helps with that as well.

What I would like to know from you ASAP is - for the Winter 2026 session:

1. If you are interested at all

2. If you are interested, if you want to be a "regular" (i.e. commit to coming each week at the same time) or be a sub.

3. Which days you are interested in (1st, 2nd and 3rd choice).

4. How many days you would like to drill  (I'll use 1st second and third choice).

5. What level you are (or think you are) - i.e 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, etc.  Also please let me know if you are  a relative "beginner" .

6. This info is for the winter session, but you can let me know if you are interested in the spring session, too.  The times for spring are all in the morning.

7. Please let me know if I missed anyone or if you have friends that may be interested (male or female)

8. Please send me your cell/contact info if you haven't already done so.

9. If you want a regular spot, please let me know of any vacations or dates that you know that you will not be able to make it as far ahead of time as possible.

I will try very hard to give everyone all that they ask for without turning anyone away, so again - please try to be flexible with your availability as much as possible and feel free to ask for all you want (ie more than one drill).  

Thank you, everyone!  Please let me know if you have any questions or if I've missed anyone!  Feel free to forward this to interested parties.  If you've asked me to add someone and find that they are not on this list, you may need to remind me again.  Again, they need to join - or be added to -  the google group so that they stay "in the loop".  If you let me know, then I can add them.

Thank you!

"Love" all around ;-) 🎾,

Maureen

Hi all! 

Just an update on the new drill pricing below for indoor drills at Hopewell.  As always, we pay Marty directly in cash and he pays the club for the court. 

6 people - $30 per person

5 people - $35 per person

4 people - $40 per person

Leads than 4 - we cancel

Thank you!

Maureen
