Unfortunately, we are having to cancel tonight's session due to weather. Delta has been bringing a steady drizzle all day. The courts are soaked and there is really no chance of them drying out in time to play even if it did stop now. Please try to get with your opponents and get this match rescheduled when you can. If we wait for the week after the end of the season, we are liable to be dealing with Hurricane XRay the way 2020 is going. Thanks for understanding, and STAY SAFE!!!

The USTA recognizes that the coronavirus has been affecting different parts of the country in different ways and with different timing. We therefore believe it will be possible for people to return to playing tennis safely in some cities and states sooner than others. The USTA has created a "Playing...

Sadly, CTA has made the decision to be overly cautious and cancel all league play. This includes Ouachita Men's Tennis. The CTA as well as the OMT board will continue to monitor the situation and the government recommendations and try to open play back up as soon as possible. Sadly, from what we are hearing now, it seems unlikely that we will be back playing this month for sure. We will try to keep everyone updated as we hear more. Please keep our country in your prayers that we all get over this quickly for the sake of all involved. Please remember to support local businesses as much as is possible as they are going to take a heavy hit from this.
Thanks for your understanding.

The new Men's 6.5 Combo Louisiana State Champions!! Geaux Monroe!! Unfortunately Mike McGee is missing from the picture as he had to go do his color commentary for the ULM game and missed our last match. He was instrumental in three of our four matches!

Also, come to ULM tomorrow to cheer on the Monroe 7.5 team as they try to win that championship! They are tied for first currently.

We really need the tennis community to come together and get the word out for us in a short time. We have been told by Brandon Buras (Deputy Assistant Secretary at Louisiana Office of Culture, Recreation and Tourism, who is over the grant we have applied for) that we are currently NOT in the top 10 applicants for this grant. There were several issues with the first version of the grant that was turned in. The major issue is that the state lost our application until just a few weeks ago. This has put us behind everyone else in working to get questions answered that the State asked. Rod Guy has been working tirelessly to get this grant written and re-written. He totally reworked the grant to give the land on top of the old pool to the soccer folks in trade for the land behind the two "new" courts at Forsythe, going all the way to the ball field. This will give us all of the courts at Forsythe in one location, which is ideal for USTA events as well as for Mark to be able to maintain the courts. Rod has worked with folks in Baton Rouge and was told we really need to get this survey (see link below) filled out by as many folks as possible. Brandon went to OCS and LA Tech and has promised to do what he can to help us get this pushed through if we will do our part and get the required responses to their questions. Since his boss stepped down, Brandon is the top dog at the department currently. We need to take advantage of having someone friendly with NELA while we can. These grants have not been awarded to anyone in NELA in over 20 years!

This is where YOU come in. First, fill out the survey yourself. Mainly, we need you to help disseminate the link below to as many tennis folks as we can. We need to get this to all of the teaching pros and ask that they get it to their students. It's a big plus if we can have a large contingency of under 18 folks fill this out. Don't worry about sending it to someone that may or may not have already gotten it. They can delete it easily enough if they get it twice. Any help you can give would be MUCH appreciated by the Northeast Louisiana Community Tennis Association!!
