RACQUETS | LIEZEL HUBER, DIRECTOR OF RACQUETS AND SPORTS
Looking Ahead to Paddle Season Paddle season is less than a month away, and this year we’re thrilled to introduce our new paddle hut. Visit the Racquet shop to explore the latest paddles and get ready for what’s sure to be a busy paddle season. US Open Recap On August 27, 56 WCC members came together once again for our annual US Open Trip. The energy at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center and Arthur Ashe Stadium was electric, with world-class tennis, unforgettable memories, and of course, Honey Deuces in hand. A Personal Note I celebrated my birthday and marked four years at Wilmington Country Club. I truly feel like the lucky one to be a part of this amazing community.
Dear Members,
As summer winds down and the kids head back to school, we want to thank you for being part of another active Summer at WCC. Whether you joined us for Summer Camp, spent time on the courts, or cheered on your children poolside, it’s been a season full of energy, connection, and growth. Thank you to our incredible WCC team for all your hard work. We’re ready for the school year ahead because the children are not only older, but wiser, more focused, and more confident. Yeah! Closing Out Summer in Style The last week of August is always our busiest. We’ve wrapped up Summer and Sports Camps, hosted three Ladies Tennis Camps, kicked off the fall season with Opening Day, and capped it all off with our sold-out US Open Bus Trip. Each event brought our WCC community together in the best ways. September Highlights Outdoor racquets programming remains strong as we move into fall. Sign-ups are on Foretees. Racquets Junior Programming fall session starts on September 8th. Please contact Ed Chilton and Victoria Giannaccini to enroll. Paddle Social Play continues Thursday mornings at 7:30 AM and we’re building toward Cup season with growing excitement. We’re especially looking forward to welcoming Charlotte on September 19 for a World-Class Paddle Camp. Contact Liezel for details.
Wishing you a smooth start to the school year and a beautiful September filled with good weather, lots of play, and memorable moments. Thank you all for a great summer!
Warm regards,
Liezel Huber
