2020 -- Glad to see it go! What a year! Covid-Covid-Covid!! How did it effect tennis? Answer, In all kind of ways!
 
No school -- at home on line! No socialization! Very little team action. Players reluctant to go to tournaments, especially out of town tournaments! Many gyms closed!
 
Pros: Proud of the way my students adjusted to all the negative conditions. Still took lessons. Still made their own tennis dates with their friends, socially distancing. Some kids still attended local tournaments. Even see older students, college players, etc., playing with their old high school buddies. I see my students running and biking to stay in shape.
 
Luckily for me, my teaching schedule has not really been affected. Why? Because on a tennis court you can control social distancing! Just remember how lucky you are to have learned to play tennis and have a sport you can rely on for exercise and socializing. A match is just a call away. It is truly a sport for a lifetime. Things will get better! Let's all have a great 2021.
 
Happy New Year and Good luck on the courts.
