Los Alamos Tennis Club News:

Tennis season is here, and the Los Alamos Tennis Club is excited to announce registration is open for the 6th annual Joel M. Williams Tennis Tournament!

The tournament will be held Aug. 3-6 at the Urban Park courts and will offer men’s and women’s singles, doubles, and mixed doubles matches for tennis players of all levels. There will be a competitive Open division for past collegiate and high-level players, and A and B divisions for recreational players.

Those who want to play doubles but don’t have a partner will be paired by the tournament organizers. All players will be able to enjoy a BBQ lunch on Saturday as part of their registration.

This year, Diadem has donated hats, wristbands, overgrips, balls, backpacks, duffels and top of the line racquets, while David Rutherford of Atomic Tennis has donated stringing all prize racquets and tennis lessons. The tournament will hold a raffle for a Diadem Elevate Tour v2 racquet, a Diadem Nova racquet, a Diadem Duffel bag and an Atomic Tennis 1 hour lesson. Raffle tickets will be $5 per ticket or five for $20.

The tournament is held in honor of Joel M. Williams, who led the Los Alamos Tennis Club for many decades. LATC is a loosely organized group of volunteers who help maintain the courts, donate amenities like ball caddies and roll-dries, and advocate for well-maintained and improved facilities.
