These are particularly good to read through and then put into practice on the courts!

You can read outgoing President Joyce Kludt’s farewell message here. Please note there was an error in this week’s Villager, our new President is David Wong, our VP is Michael Actman. Thank you to both (and the entire board) for stepping up to lead our great club!

Each year the USAPA adds and revises their rules for the upcoming year. For 2025, there are a number of rule changes, and we’re highlighting what are the most impactful. We have a link to the USAPA rules & changed rules under menu option “The Game”. Here is the direct link. It is often helpful to look other places for better explanations of changes😊. As soon as it is released, the new 2025 rule book will be uploaded.
