Welcome to the CVTA

The Boulder County Cup is set to be held Aug. 21, 2010, at the University of Colorado South tennis courts. The Centennial Valley Tennis Association is currently working with the Boulder Tennis Association and Longmont Tennis Association to confirm details regarding who will play at what times and under what rules. The Boulder County Cup, going into its seventh year, features competition between the three local tennis associations, and all CVTA members are eligible to sign up.

Last year, the tournament featured 50 players at all levels of play, and they competed under World Team Tennis rules, which allowed unlimited substitution. The rules and structure of the BCC have varied from year to year, depending partly upon the preferences of the host group. This year, the CVTA will organize and host the event. For information, contact Susan Olenwine at solenwine@yahoo.com.

Summer Mixed Doubles Social Event, July 3, 2010

The Centennial Valley Tennis Association hosted its yearly summer social event at Centennial Park in Louisville July 3, 2010, with 24 members participating. By the end of the morning’s activities, Rami Boneh and Diane Engel had accumulated the highest number of games won. Finishing in second place were the husband-wife team of Chris and Andrea Robbins. After the structured competition, participants enjoyed sandwiches and refreshments; and many of the players returned to the court for some “pick-up” tennis.

The event was organized by CVTA board members Katy Howe and John Kennedy.
