If the tennis gods are with us they will be available for play by next summer. A rendering of the project is attached.<\/p>\n<p>Each of the 4 courts will be individually fenced and there will be an asphalt running track around the perimeter of the property.\u00a0 Plans also call for a gathering patio for members to enjoy each other&#8217;s company.<\/p>\n<p>We will share more details with you in the coming months.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/ashlandtfc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Tennis-Courts-2020-23-for-website-1-e1610054610623.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Tennis-Courts-2020&#8212;23-for-website&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; width=&#8221;100%&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Text&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; width=&#8221;100%&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>ATFC\u00a0 indoor competition courts have sky lights that allow in a lot of natural light, a high ceiling and LED bulbs which produce consistent bright lighting. The hard surface courts were completely surfaced with Plexipave, the world&#8217;s leading acrylic tennis court surface. The curtains separating the courts completely enclose each court and are 2&#8242; higher than standard height so rarely will a ball stray from another court. Thermal insulation, open vent ventilation, two 24-foot ceiling fans and two large evaporative coolers\u00a0and 3 heaters keep the courts at a reasonably comfortable playing temperature throughout the year.<\/p>\n<p>We also offer a ball machine, a premier feature for players of all skill levels. This machine offers a customizable and consistent practice experience, allowing you to refine your strokes, improve your footwork, and build endurance at your own pace. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>ATFC participates in &#8220;RecycleBalls,&#8221; an innovative 501(c)3 nonprofit that began in 2017. The Vermont based company has partnered with Wilson Sporting Goods Co. to pioneer an effort\u00a0to collect\/recycle\/reuse 20 million tennis balls in the U.S. over the next three years. Its mission is to recycle\/and reuse every tennis ball in the United States.<\/p>\n<dl id=\"attachment_513\">\n<dt><\/dt>\n<dd><\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<p><strong>ATFC features:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>4 indoor Plexipave tennis courts<\/li>\n<li>Playmate ball machine with remote control available<\/li>\n<li>Curtain enclosed individual courts and seating area<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>ATFC offers:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A wide range of classes &#8211; ranging from ages 4yrs and up<\/li>\n<li>Private Lessons<\/li>\n<li>Clinics<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Our classes, lessons and clinics given by our highly qualified <a href=\"https:\/\/ashlandtfc.org\/?page_id=487\">tennis pros<\/a>.
