I still play on my 3.0 team, the net ninja's, but I recently got invited to join a 3.5 team! I'm so excited, it's my ARTL and tournament partner, Kelly's team. Most of this team has been together for 20 years and they are amazing players! This picture was taken at Kelly's baby shower a few weeks ago, I came straight there from a match. They are such a sweet, sincere, and down to earth group of ladies. They say they are a social group that plays a little tennis on the side. I love how light hearted they are and how they don't take the game or themselves too seriously. They are always gracious on the court. Good sportsmanship, I'm finding, is rare as you move up in this sport. I've been practicing with them for a few months now and have just fallen in love with them; plus, they are teaching me sooooo much. They are one of the best 3.5 teams in COTA. I'm playing on a summer combo team right now (3.0 and 3.5 players) and some of the ladies on Amy's team asked me to be on their 3.5 team this fall as well. It was hard to choose, because I love Amy, but I think this team of ladies is a good fit.
