MCTC Monday AM Group Scholarship Fund

The MCTC Monday AM Group has been a huge success!  Both members and non-members have been in here in numbers every Monday morning from 6am-8am! 

Since its inception, this group has been no charge, we simply asked for food donations for NW Harvest.  Starting Monday morning January 4th, we will begin to charge a fee of $5 for members and $10 for non-members. 

100% of the proceeds from this group will go to a junior scholarship fund which will help pay for memberships and programs for junior tennis players.

So come and start your week off on a high note and help us grow the game of tennis and make it accessible to everyone!

Manager's Message

First, I want to wish everyone a very Happy New Year! Just a reminder that our New Year's Eve hours are 7:30am-1:30pm and we are closed on New Year's Day.

I wanted to take the time to go over some MCTC policies.   

GUEST POLICY:  We welcome guests at Mill Creek Tennis Club.  A reminder that members in good standing have unlimited guest privileges however, the same guest may only come once a month and a maximum of 12 times per year

All guests must register with the Club front desk, sign a club liability waiver and pay guest fees. The guest fee is $12 and must be paid in advance of stepping onto the court.  Sponsoring members will be held responsible for all actions of their guests.

Remember when booking a reservation, you must give 2 names.  If bringing a guest, we ask for your guest's name in advance.

RESERVATION POLICY: MCTC members are limited one advance reservation per rolling seven day period.

Advance reservations are allowed up to seven days in advance. A reservation made more than 24 hours in advance is considered an “advance reservation”. Only one outstanding advance reservation is allowed.

Once the reservation is complete, members are allowed to make another court reservation at 8:00 AM the following Club business day.

MCTC members are able to make a “same day reservation” as often as courts are available on a first come, first served basis, as determined by the waiting list.

It is possible for a member to have both an “advance reservation” and a “same day reservation” at the same time within a rolling seven day period. 

If you have any questions, please ask MCTC staff. 
Thank you.

Matt Lattier, General Manager

MCTC Holiday Party Recap

MCTC held it's club member holiday party on December 4th.  It was a nice success and all involved had a great time!

 

Some of the highlights of the party included club member Jeanne Okubo's sticky rice and a very memorable gift exchange.  Staff member Kyle Stalker received the most popular gift, a gold tennis racquet bottle opener! 

 

Also, Tennis Director Roger Mark played an exhibition match versus club members Charlie Hartsfield and Larry Lewis.  Playing solo, Roger gave them a heck of a match before falling 7-5.  Way to go Charlie and Larry!
