Women’s Adult Programs

Women’s group play

There are several Women’s Groups Playing during the week as well. To learn more about where might be best for you, contact Mary Fuller mjfuller@cox.net

Mary is putting together both day and evening groups at various levels. Mary has a questionnaire if you are unsure if you are Advanced, Intermediate, or Beginner level. Initial thoughts are Mon/Fri 10a as the daytime slot, Cauleen has a Tuesday, later in the evening, group and Mary is working on starting a Thursday evening group that starts at 5 or 5:15 so we can be done before the men’s 7p group on Thursday.

You are encouraged to sign up for more than one group. Hey—it’s New England—you are bound to get rained out sometimes, so it’s good to have a second chance!

If you are part of group play, you have a contracted scheduled timeslot, so priority over others looking to play. Email Mary and let her know your interest and availability to play.

Working to determine the best Day and time. So, if interested, give us a call, and let us know of your availability. We are currently looking for a weekend timeslot that works well and doesn’t conflict with the team play Saturday morning.

Suffield Country Club tennis is played on three outdoor green clay courts that are top-dressed with Har-Tru material each spring.  Courts are open daily from May through October from 7:30 am to 9:30 pm.

Each player is responsible for brushing the court after play and replacing court and line brushes onto the fence. If you want to help pack it down more firmly for some extra bounce, contact Alan Farenholtz, almarincaf@aol.com, or Becky Tobiasz, 860–780–4617.

There is an online court reservation system accessible to all. For assistance, contact the reservation system administrator: George Roebelen, Roebelen@yahoo.com

If you do not have a regular contracted time, you can reserve a court 72 hours (3 days) before play.

Want to contract a regular day/time? Looking for a few people so you can contract a regular day/time? Email Mary at mjfuller@cox.net or Call Becky Tobiasz at 860-805-9517.

This is a casual club and there are not many rules. The rules we have are largely common sense. We welcome new ideas. Feel free to contact any member of the committee to discuss ideas for improving the club, express concerns, request clarification.

We have an easy-to-adhere-to dress code, which we’ve found allows us to be casual and expressive while still being respective of others. Here it is:

1. We ask that everyone wear a shirt.
2. We ask that clothing not be offensive.
3. We ask that appropriate footwear be worn to protect our playing surfaces, i.e SMOOTH SOLES. Running and workout shoes have soles that are too aggressive and will damage clay courts. Making repairs to the courts is time consuming, sometimes expensive, and renders the courts unusable until the work is finished.

Please come join us at board meetings, food, drink, and a beautiful view on the deck at the SCC restaurant, 341 North Main Grille.  If you would like to have an item on the agenda please get in touch with Becky Tobiasz, at 860–780–4617. We have no regular meeting day/time but gather as desired.

If you have family members or friends who want to be on our mailing list for updates like these, Please send the contact information to:
