Domenico Tennis Pro-Jeff Thomas
The
Sleepy Hollow Tennis Club [SHTC] is a neighborhood group of men and women
that enjoy the sport of tennis and the camaraderie of neighbors and friends.
We welcome tennis players of all abilities and we have many members who
have participated in the sport for 30, 40 and 50 years. The SHTC enjoys
the privilege of using the San Domenico School [SDS] tennis courts at
the pleasure of SDS. Historically, SDS and Sleepy Hollow Homes Association
have mutually supported the quality of life in this special neighborhood
and the unique benefits of education and the open campus at SDS.
One of
the SDS/SHHA relationship benefits is the SHTC use of the
SDS tennis courts. The tennis facility is maintained
to private school, tennis club quality in a private rural
country club environment. There is no other place like it
to enjoy this sport. Membership in the SHTC requires residence
in Sleepy Hollow and payment of the annual SHHA membership
dues and the annual $175 SHTC membership dues. Only SHTC
members are provided the court security gate combination,
which is changed every year. The SHTC has 70 individual paid
members in 2008.

Site and Equipment Maintenance
The SHTC performs all the annual court maintenance and
repair. The SHTC inspects the site, courts and equipment
several times each year, performs repairs and replaces
court equipment including nets, rollers, scoreboards,
gate combination security locks and windscreens on an
as needed basis. We purchase, furnish, and install the
tennis equipment.
Court Resurfacing
The SHTC has managed the SDS court resurface construction
over 15 years. The SHTC shares this cost with SDS and
pays 50% of the court resurface construction cost.
SHTC Rules
The SHTC distributes tennis club rules and regulations
to all members regarding membership and use of the SDS
courts. We encourage SHTC members to respect the education
and other activities at SDS. SDS has priority use of
the campus and courts. We encourage SHTC members to walk,
ride bicycles, and carpool to play tennis at SDS and
reduce vehicle traffic.
The club has a shed on court 4 that has practice balls
and a ball machine that is free for members use. The
club will provide instruction on use of the ball machine
if you are new to use of the machine. |
