Meet the Pro
Sports
We are so excited to get back on the courts with all of you - whether you have never played, it has been a while, or you have been playing regularly, 2023 is YOUR year for Racquet Sports! All ages are welcome and encouraged to find your sweet spot this season - we are here to help. With tons of excitement, I am happy to share that Frank Amanor, Dave Reinhart, Dragan Omcikus, and Filip Petrovic will be back in their roles again this year. They were all integral parts of our amazing season in 2022. Melanie Ridgway will also be managing the Chalet, and handling much of the day to day billing, planning, and purchasing - she's a rockstar, if you ever need anything explained!
When it comes to Junior Assistants, ours are hard to top! To name a few, Sarah Griege, Gabby Kennedy, Hudson Kohler, and Anna Dunn will be back to help with Junior Clinics and running the shop on evenings and
weekends. Do not hesitate to ask them for assistance! We will also be welcoming Milos Vuckovic and Lucas Kzam this they are both fantastic college tennis players, and will be running some of our higher level junior and adult programs in the evenings and on the weekends.
As for me, I am as energized as ever going into my NINTH season at Forest Hills. Still just as proud to call the best country club in town, home. We have some really exciting changes in both Kid's and Adult's Programs this season. To mention a few, more Pickleball (and beginner pickleball) options, a weekday High Level Drills for tennis players, Camp options in Session Two for Kids, and Pickleball Cardio!! Super exciting stuff. Please join us and let us show you how fun and rewarding these sports can be, for ALL ages!

Visit with your Director of Tennis for details.
Tennis Balls
Practice balls are available for purchase at the Tennis Chalet.
Ball Machine
The ball machine is available for member use on the hard courts (court must first be reserved in advance on ForeTees). Children under the age of 18 must have parental supervision to operate the ball machine or to be on the courts when the machine is in use.
Prior to using the ball machine, ask one of the Pros for operating instructions. Once you are finished using the machine, all of the balls should be put back in the basket and the machine returned to the corner of the hard courts. Sunday is a great time to come out and get practice on the ball machine.
Racquet Sports Rules at Forest Hills
1. Proper tennis attire and non-marking shoes are required for all players. Shirts must be worn at all times. No track shorts, denim, cutoffs, jogging shorts, swimsuits or tank tops will be permitted.
2. All players must reserve a court before playing. There are a maximum of 4 players per court. If you don’t have a court reserved, please check in and the shop attendant can reserve it for you.
3. Courts may be reserved on ForeTees a week in advance of playing time. Reserved playing time is limited to one hour for singles and 1½ hours for doubles groups. Playing times begin on the hour or half-hour. If the following time period is not scheduled, play may continue. Reserved court times will be given to members waiting to play if reserved players have not checked in fifteen minutes after their scheduled starting time. During busy court times, players must notify the tennis office if they are unable to play at reserved times.
4. Members may bring up to three accompanied guests. Guest fees are $5.00 per guest per day.
5. Children nine (9) and younger must be supervised by an adult member at all times while at the Racquet Facility.
