Tennis club holds 'Team Tennis' event in Sun City West

The Sun City West Tennis Club held its second of three annual “Team Tennis” events March 9 at the R.H. Johnson Tennis Complex. This club competition is held three times throughout the year and is in its 12th year of friendly competition.

Club members sign up to play in their respective ratings categories. Both women and men compete in doubles play and there are four teams with each one having a captain. Captains draw names to determine the players on their team. The teams are based on colors: Red, White, Green and Blue. Players wear their respective team color clothing for the event.

The winning team is based upon the number of games each team has won throughout the day. Each team plays all the other teams. Coaches have the task of choosing who plays together, against the other teams.

The team captains for this event were Ginny Althoff (White Team), Dave Parrish (Blue Team), Joel Piaskowski (Red Team) and Bruce Dougan (Green Team). The defending champion team captain was Joel Piaskowski

After the event, club members socialized with snacks, music and beverages. The winning team was the Big Bad Blue Team and captain Dave Parrish, who will display the trophy “Chicken” through the entire summer until the next Team Tennis event in September.
