[cid:79a93796-c566-437e-8abc-6e99d71eab39@namprd07.prod.outlook.com] Hi All, We hope you all are doing well and your families are continuing to be safe! Thanks again to everyone in the Harvard Tennis community who works in the healthcare field - we couldn't get through this without you. SORRY- DUE TO THE COVID SITUATION: * The Beren outdoor tennis center is officially Closed until Spring 2021 * The Murr indoor tennis courts remain closed until further notice. [cid:50c51766-a566-4e6e-9ba5-a033de4d8e56@namprd07.prod.outlook.com] * Racquet stringing & equipment / accessories available- Call Michael @ 978-273-6500 * Looking to play Pickleball- drop me a quick note and I’ll let you know where you can play in the Boston area * FYI- Many Harvard Recreation USTA Teams are keeping up play & getting court time at the Winchester & Woburn indoor tennis centers * Welcome back Christian from Germany ( and happy quarantine ) * Update Harvard Recreation Tennis / Zoom Call coming soon- TBA * USTA New England “Tennis Weekend” & USPTA New England Division - FREE Online Zoom Sessions start this Thursday night / check & register online for the schedule of events Playing Outdoors - Tennis Injury Prevention Tip: - Warm up before and stretch after! Before you roll your eyes just realize it's easier than you think. - Warmups: light rolling / self massage / light jog or dynamic stretching - Cool down: elongation / static stretching - How long?? - A grand total of: 5-10 minutes for each. - Wear compression / polyurethem clothes for warmth / compression balls work well when the temperature drops - Keep your tennis racquet warm - protected indoors ( do not leave in your car overnight ) causes extra tension on frame / strings and your arm - This is your first line of defense against injury and longer play - before the snow hits the ground again.
