  • Richmond Tennis Team Advances to USTA East Bay League Championship

I frequently receive reports from Richmond Tennis Association (RTA) President Garry Hurlbut with highlights from the RTA’s outstanding program.

As reported by Garry, the tennis program is more than a set of matches.  RTA members serve as ambassadors for Richmond as they go to their locations for match play, and they are especially proud to host matches at Nicholl Park.  Many of their opposing players have never visited Richmond before, and they leave their matches with a healthy respect for the sense of community and hospitality of Richmond players. 
        
​Richmond youth are also encouraged to lead active and healthy lifestyles through participation in several tennis programs. Every Saturday, young people (ages 3-8) are enjoying free life skills and tennis instruction at the Hurlbut Tennis Courts behind the Richmond Natatorium (Plunge), led by Maryn and Garry Hurlbut.

Additionally, RTA volunteers collaborate with City of Richmond Recreation Coordinator Tetteh Kisseh and the Community Services Department to offer youth tennis instruction on Richmond tennis courts that are nearby Richmond schools. Each Friday throughout the fall of 2017, they offered life skills and tennis instruction to over 60 elementary school youths on the tennis courts behind Kennedy High School, and they expect to expand this initiative to multiple elementary and middle schools in 2018.

Throughout 2017, all of the RTA’s 136 players on 16 teams (9 men, 5 women, 2 mixed) represented Richmond extremely well as they played matches against teams from the prestigious Berkeley Tennis Club, Claremont Resort and Spa and other teams from Oakland, Alameda, El Cerrito, San Leandro and San Lorenzo. They play home matches at Richmond's Nicholl Park and away matches at their location. 

Four RTA teams made it to their respective League playoffs, and 3 of those teams went on to play in their League Championship match.  They now have five teams competing in the winter/spring 2018 USTA season, and they fully expect us to be well represented in those leagues. 

Now for the recent match highlights:

Last Saturday, the Richmond Tennis Association (RTA) 6.5 Men's Team moved into the finals of the US Tennis Association (USTA) East Bay League Championship Playoffs by upsetting and defeating the team from the Claremont Resort and Spa.   The playoff match was constituted of 3 lines of doubles play, where the winner must win at least 2 lines. ​This match demonstrated the ​fortitude and focus of RTA players as they initially fell well behind in 2 of the lines. Not to be denied, the RTA players fought back to even the score and, finally, prevailed by winning 3 tiebreakers and sweeping all 3 lines. They play the League Championship match in Alameda on Saturday, January 20th.

Garry reports that, “We are proud of the impact that the Richmond and RTA tennis players are having within our community and beyond.”  Congratulations to this outstanding group, and thank you to Garry for his leadership.

  • STEAM – Fun with Science (Diversión con Ciencia)

 The Richmond Public Library is inviting the children to join in the excitement for our children’s program, STEAM Fun. After a very fun – but messy – October, with colored slime and frosting on haunted houses, we offered cleaner, engineering fun.  In November, kids created pasta cars and ran them down different size and inclines of ramps. They found out where they needed to have the most weight in the car (front or back or center distribution). They also made balloons propel along a rope. A few enterprising kids tried propelling their cars with balloons! 21 people participated! We hope to increase attendance again in the spring.

The program will be available on the first weekend of the month through April 2018.

Saturday, February 3rd;
Friday, March 2nd; and
Friday, April 6th

Pass on the news to friends with kids – hope to see you there!

ServiceWorks Richmond – Volunteers Needed

ServiceWorks, in conjunction with the City of Richmond Community Services Department, Points of Light, AmeriCorps and Citi Foundation, is actively recruiting volunteers to assist with groundbreaking programming. Their primary goal is to engage young adults (16-24 years of age) and bring educational modules that drive Skill Building, Volunteering, and Success Coaching as strategies to help address barriers to youth economic opportunity.
ServiceWorks offers the opportunity for participants, also known as Service Scholars, to gain valuable college and career experience to which they may not otherwise have easy access. Through developing their own service projects and team exercises, Service Scholars have the opportunity to gain a range of skills.
Volunteers are vital to the success of this program. ServiceWorks is also looking for those who wish to make a positive impact on the lives of the youth within their community. Whether it’s for a week, a day or even just a few hours in a month, volunteers can help empower the Service Scholars to face any obstacle that may block their path.

ServiceWorks gives youth the keys to unlock their future; we are looking for volunteers who will give them the means to open the door.
