The 'Not
Quite Ready for Prime Time' players group - Wednesday Evenings
Tom Isaacson leads this group of people who are not quite ready for
the likes of Rich Murray or Bob Campbell, but who are looking to have fun on a
tennis court. So if you are a beginner, or you're looking to gain some
experience, and having fun is more important than competition, then this group is for
you. And the after tennis wine and hors d'oeuvres doesn't detract from the
overall experience at all. There is no sign-up or commitment required; just show
up Wednesday evenings at 6:30 p.m. and find your way to courts 1, 2, and 3. Join
Tom, his wife, Trish, and a number of others for this non-instructional, purely
social experience. Spouses who are more experienced but supportive and patient,
are also welcome. If you need more information, you can contact Tom at
215-340-1082 or by
e-mail.
