Awe man, I could go on forever. This past year at Mid Cape has been amazing. I've met lifelong friends, become part of some awesome tennis groups and feel like I have a new home away from home. Whenever I'm having a bad day, I'll hit the tennis courts and then grab a drink at the bar and chat with staff, coaches and other members! What else could you want?!

I would have to say making it to the finals in a tennis tournament with the person who got me into tennis! Pretty cool full circle moment!

You have the front desk with Joyce, Anna, Kelley, Netty, Kris and Kyle who are always helpful, friendly and willing to pour you a glass of wine! The coaches Tim, Jim, Alex, Sandy, Andreas, Brandon and Sam, who are the only reason I can sometimes hit the ball over the net and are always a good time to just chat with. The other MCAC members who have made me feel welcomed and invite me to play with them even though I suck! Thanks everyone : )
