ESCAPE THE NOISE! There is a song by Kenny Chesney entitled “Noise”. The song is about the “noise” that is part of our world and impacts our everyday lives. The lyrics “There ain’t nothin’ but noise…” describes how challenging it is for all of us to find that “escape”. Participating in recreational activities is a great way to escape the noise and bring our lives back into balance. A walk on a trail, fishing at a lake, a softball game, an afternoon at the swimming pool, a craft class, a card game, a round of golf, or a tennis class… These are a few great recreational choices to clear your head, socialize, meet new friends, and get the exercise needed to re-charge your battery. Our PLAY KEARNEY play book is full of opportunities to beat the noise. All you have to do is “Get out. Get going!”

ERNEST GRUNDY TENNIS CENTER
At the Ernest Grundy Tennis Center, we have a state-of-the-art racquet stringer. Having fresh strings, and the right strings, in your racquet is a huge boon to your game. Each year, one should restring their racquet about as often as they play per week. So, if you play twice a week, get it restrung twice that year. It helps to keep the racquet feeling crisp and like new. Don’t be hesitant to ask about string types as well, there’s a lot out there these days! The price of stringing ranges with the quality of string you put in, but in general it will cost around $10-20 in string and $20 in labor.
BALL MACHINE RENTAL: $5 FOR PASSHOLDER, AND $7 FOR NON-PASSHOLDERS Our Ball Machine is among the best in the industry! The machine can deliver every shot in the book and fire the ball up to 80mph! The machine is totally programmable, and even has a few drills programmed from Matt himself! It’s a great way to get a lot of reps and get a great workout in while “playing” the most consistent opponent in the world. You are able to check out the machine online, at the front desk, or over the phone, and don’t forget when you do to check out the remote or the iPad that comes with it to fully leverage the ball machines potential. Check it out today!
WORKPLACE/ORGANIZATION INTRO TO TENNIS OPPORTUNITY: We are offering a free opportunity for workplaces/organizations to enjoy some fellowship, exercise, and experience the game of tennis! Just contact Matt Morrow at
