Our new partnership with LOOK Cinemas in Reston Town Center is thriving, and we are eager to bring those top releases to you each month. We also continue to use the feedback we received from all of you during the recent community survey and are taking that knowledge as we develop new programs and activities that align with what they community has told us were top priorities.

Take some time to look through the guide at the many activities, programs and special events RA has in store. And of course, we are always looking for new opportunities to partner with our community, and we welcome your suggestions for new activities and are always looking for volunteers to help us ensure each one is a success. It’s a great opportunity to get to know your neighbors and impact the programming and events that make Reston such a unique place to live.

EXPERIENCE TENNIS & PICKLEBALL All Reston Association Junior programs follow the USTA standards for player development by using a low-compression ball progression that scales court size, racquet size, and type of ball to the age and size of the player. The ROGY (Red, Orange, Green, Yellow).

RED

Red ball is named after the red foam/felt balls that are used for players that are 3-7 years old. Red balls bounce lower and move more slowly through the air, giving beginning players a chance to set up and take a good swing. Courts at this level are 36 feet long and 18 feet wide.

ORANGE

Once comfortable at the red level, players move to the orange ball. Typically for ages 8-10. Orange balls bounce higher and move faster than the red balls but lower and slower than the green balls. They are a step toward the traditional yellow tennis ball while remaining fun and manageable for players learning the game.

Courts at this level are 60 feet by 21 feet.

12

GREEN

After Orange, the next level is the green dot. Typically for ages 10-12. The Green ball is very similar to the traditional yellow tennis ball but with a slightly lower compression, so it rebounds lower off the court after a bounce. The Green court is the same dimension as the traditional yellow court: 78 feet by 27 feet.

YELLOW

The Yellow level is what most people know as traditional tennis. Typically ages 12-adults. The balls, courts and racquets at this level are used in high school, college, adult, and professional levels. The court size is 78 feet by 27 feet.

VOLUNTEER RESTON JOIN VOLUNTEER RESTON

Volunteer Reston (VR) housed under the Reston Association, is a network of community members who come together to complete various projects to improve our surroundings and bring the Reston community together.

Our mission is to enhance Reston Association’s services and programs by matching the varied talents of individuals and groups of all ages, interests and skills to various engaging projects and endeavors.

CORPORATE DAY OF SERVICE

VR Corporate Volunteer Program offers expertise in community service to corporations by creating customized, hands-on group volunteer projects that complement team building, leadership development, and philanthropy initiatives.

NEED SERVICE HOURS FOR SCHOOL?

Many students in Reston and the surrounding area must perform a specific number of community service hours for their course or school requirements. Volunteer Reston is a great way to fulfill these hours. Students may be able to finish their service hours by handling shifts at community events, environmental projects, monthly service projects and community cleanups. This also includes scouting organizations that need to complete a community service project.

For more information or to volunteer for any of the above

Road salt (sodium chloride) is everywhere during winter months. It keeps us safe on roads and sidewalks, but it can also pose a threat to fish and wildlife as well as human health. Fish and bugs that live in freshwater streams can’t survive in extra salty water. Our local drinking water is sourced from the Potomac, where all of Reston’s streams lead to.

Water treatment plants are not equipped to filter out the extra salt, so it can end up in your tap water and even corrode your pipes. In 2024, Reston Association watershed specialist Calvin Dickens presented salt pollution data at the North American Lake Management Society annual conference, where many attendees were surprised to see such high concentrations of salt in Reston’s streams.

You can help collect valuable data to inform decision-making and advocacy regarding salt use by volunteering as Salt Watch monitors through a Reston Association-Izaak Walton League of America partnership.

Volunteers are given chloride test strips that they dip in water samples they collect to determine the level of salt pollution in Reston’s lakes and streams. Each test takes about 5-10 minutes to complete and volunteers can choose their site(s).

Email cdickens@reston.org with the subject line ‘Salt Watch Monitor Interest’ to learn more about this program.
