Letter From the General Manager/COO Holiday Schedule & Club Closings As we venture out of one of the coldest and wettest winters in years, we can rest assured that spring is right around the corner! I am pleased to say the activity level in the Clubhouse has been above expectations considering the weather this year. We are preparing for the busy season: finalizing budgets, meeting with committees, as well as all of the usual spring and summer activities that will be taking place here at the Club. There were some unexpected renovation projects due to bursting pipes from the recent cold weather. The bathrooms at the turn and on hole #15 have been completely renovated and are now open. There was also work done at the Grounds and Tennis facilities as well as the entrance to the Clubhouse. I urge you to help us protect your Club. You will see from the pictures above that there’s been vandalism at the Club recently. While we unfortunately expect some from time to time it has increased as of late. We urge all members to report any activity that does not appear normal to either the Club or to the local authorities. Know the Club can and will prosecute any individuals caught vandalizing your Club property. I have also received several reports of Members using the Golf Course on Mondays as well as walking their animals on the Course and around the Tennis Center. Please remember the Club/Course is closed on Mondays and no pets are allowed on property. I would like to thank everyone who has participated in the photography drive at the Club. The Club recently partnered with American Club Directories to take portraits of our Members. While they’re normally at a club for 2-3 weeks, they will be at St Ives from 5-6 weeks due to the incredible response. One of the great benefits of this is the Club gets a copy of all the pictures to put in to our Member data base. This will greatly assist in staff training and Member recognition in the future. Thanking you for your continued support and enthusiastic participation in all that your Club has to offer. I look forward to seeing you at the club.

As March comes in, I am hoping for sunny, clear days so you all can have a chance to get out and enjoy all that St Ives has to offer! From the Membership Director Bridge Membership Update: As our fiscal year comes to a close, we want to note that we are seeing a trend in the area to increasing Initiation Fees. As our 25th Anniversary year comes to a close, we may be moving towards a slightly higher fee as our first step towards reasserting our Initiation Fee back to more pre-recession levels. If you know of anyone who is considering joining St Ives, please do let them know that there never will be a better time than now, and that the special program will most likely be gone very soon. There is no exact date as of yet, but I wanted to give everyone an opportunity to let their friends and associates know. Thank you! By the way…the “Father Daughter Dance” was adorable! So sweet to see the Dad’s with their little ones all dressed up. It’s a wonderful tradition at the Club, and it’s a pleasure each year.

Future Champions Academy is a perfect opportunity for children to learn the fundamentals of tennis. Activities focus on building Agility, Balance and Coordination while developing the on-court skills needed to serve, rally, and score. Prior to moving to the next stage of the Academy these 6 & under players will be able to demonstrate understanding of basic technique and begin rallies with other academy students. 10 & Under Pre-Academy Pre-Academy is divided into both beginner and intermediate 10& Under player’s ready to play on the full size quick start court. The training sessions are designed to continue building athletic skills while learning or refining the skills necessary to serve, rally and score. These players will demonstrate an understanding of proper technique and maintain that technique during point and match play. These are players who enjoy league play but have yet to enter tournament competition. 10 & Under Academy The Academy is for players who are looking to prepare for the challenge of USTA state sanctioned tournaments. At the beginning of each session coaches will address proper self-warm-up techniques and have all players begin with this phase. They are learning to be determined in their own development, and their competitive interests are rising. This group is fundamentally sound in both movement and technique and beginning work on match and player strategies. Players will utilize different tactics and strategies and learn early development of their own personal strengths to build upon. USTA state sanctioned tournaments are emphasized to compete in on a regular basis. Full Court Green Dot Academy Training Ages 12 & Under Competitive Green Dot Training Sessions are tournament-level training classes that serve as a potential pathway to the high performance Champions Program. The Full Court Green Dot Academy challenge players with high intensity green dot training sessions. Practices will consist of a 15-30 minute fitness session followed by progressive dead ball training, live ball and consistency work, and supervised point and match play. Full Court Academy 12 & Up The primary goal of the Academy is to provide a consistent and encouraging learning environment that encourages each junior to reach his or her full personal tennis potential. The Academy will challenge the students through different drills, conditioning and match strategy. Monthly tactical themes will give the students enough repetition to have a solid technical base in all strokes. This program is designed for students who have just started their first tournaments, or are about to start. Training in the St Ives Academy along with private lessons with the St Ives Country Club Tennis Professionals, will create a junior tennis atmosphere and program highly regarded in the Tennis Club Community.
