The 2010 USTA League Season is underway. If it's league competition
that you want, there is no better place in Northeastern Pa. than Kirby Park. NO other local club can boast
the variety of competition OR the results either. Our mens's teams have been perennial league winners, having advanced to the
Princeton Sectionals 20 of the past 23 years. Our 2008 Men's 4.0 team won their league and then captured the Sectional
championship in Princeton, NJ. We even boast a National Championship Men's team and a third place Women's team (Our
upcoming history page will contain more about Kirby Park's rich tennis history). Just
as a sample, in 1987, no fewer than five separate Kirby Park teams qualified for the Sectionals. While other clubs "claim"
to have league programs, Kirby Park has an extremely successful league program that is second to none. League results can be found by following the USTA link on
our links page. For more information
on USTA League tennis, contact MSTA/EPD Men's Adult League Coordinator, Joe McKeown at
The 2010 Kirby Park Men's
4.0 team, captained by Marc Smulowitz, is currently in first place in their division with a 4-1 record following
their 4-1 victory over Saucon Valley on 6/26. Two matches remain in the regular season -- vs Stroudsburg and Birchwood. The
team entertains high hopes of hosting the league championship match on July 25th and continuing on to the Sectional playoffs
in Princeton, NJ in late August. Team members include Marc Smulowitz, Fred Straus, Paul Gerrity, Jason Sallemi, Joe Brown,
Joe McKeown, Bill Ziegler III, Jim Hayes, Matt Berger, Jim Landon, Justin Naylor, Jim Zimmerman,
Fred Hockenbury, and Tyler Ryman.
Good luck guys!!
