🧠 Coach's Tip of the Week
Cover the middle first! This one's actually a preview for our Triples Tennis league, launching this October — but it applies on any court. In a doubles or triples format, most points are won or lost down the center of the court, not the alleys, since the middle is the shortest path to either side. File this one away for when Triples kicks off this fall!

🥗 Recipe of the Week: Sweet Potato and Chickpea Buddha Bowl
A vibrant, plant-powered bowl loaded with roasted veggies, quinoa, and a creamy tahini drizzle — easy to prep ahead for a busy week of classes. 😋

🕒 Prep: 15 min · Cook: 25 min · Serves 4 (about 2 cups each)

🛒 Ingredients: • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained, rinsed, and patted dry • 2 tbsp olive oil, divided • 1 tsp ground cumin • 1 tsp smoked paprika • 1/2 tsp garlic powder • Salt and pepper, to taste • 1 cup quinoa, uncooked • 4 cups baby spinach • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced • 1/4 cup tahini • 2 tbsp lemon juice • 1 tbsp maple syrup • 2–3 tbsp water, to thin

👩‍🍳 How to make it: 1️⃣ Preheat oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment. 2️⃣ Toss sweet potato cubes and chickpeas with 1 tbsp olive oil, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. 3️⃣ Spread in a single layer and roast 22–25 minutes, flipping halfway, until sweet potatoes are tender and chickpeas are lightly crisp. 4️⃣ Meanwhile, cook quinoa according to package directions; set aside. 5️⃣ Whisk tahini, lemon juice, maple syrup, and water together until smooth and pourable; season with a pinch of salt. 6️⃣ Divide spinach, quinoa, roasted sweet potato, chickpeas, and red onion among 4 bowls. 7️⃣ Drizzle each bowl with tahini dressing and serve.

🔥 3 CLASSES FOR ONLY $15! 🔥

📅 Saturdays 📆 September 12, 19 & 26, 2026 ⏰ 8:30 AM – 9:30 AM 📍 Gilbert Regional Park Tennis Courts 🏟️ Court 3

💵 Just $15 for all 3 classes — that's $5 a class!

✅ Great workout ✅ Improve your tennis skills ✅ Friendly, supportive environment ✅ Adults only

🎒 Requirements: 🎾 Bring your own racquet 👟 Wear athletic shoes suitable for tennis

🧠 Coach's Tip of the Week
Own the ready position between every shot! Keep your racquet up and centered in front of you — not resting at your side — so you're always prepared for the next shot. This "ready position" shortens the distance your racquet has to travel, giving you a real edge on fast returns and tricky angles alike.

🌶️ Recipe of the Week: Turkey and Black Bean Chili
A hearty, protein-packed dinner that batch-cooks and reheats beautifully all week — great fuel as the new tennis session kicks off. 😋

🕒 Prep: 15 min · Cook: 30 min · Serves 6 (about 1.5 cups each)

🛒 Ingredients: • 1 tbsp olive oil • 1 lb lean ground turkey • 1 yellow onion, diced • 1 red bell pepper, diced • 3 cloves garlic, minced • 2 tbsp chili powder • 1 tbsp ground cumin • 1 tsp smoked paprika • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (optional) • 1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes • 2 cans (15 oz each) black beans, drained and rinsed • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth • Salt and pepper, to taste

👩‍🍳 How to make it: 1️⃣ Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add ground turkey and cook, breaking it up, until browned, 6–8 minutes. 2️⃣ Add onion and bell pepper; cook until softened, about 5 minutes. 3️⃣ Stir in garlic, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, and cayenne; cook 1 minute until fragrant. 4️⃣ Add crushed tomatoes, black beans, and broth; stir to combine. 5️⃣ Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and cook uncovered 20–25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened. 6️⃣ Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm with toppings of choice.

🧠 Coach's Tip of the Week
Reset your mind between every point! It's easy to let one bad shot spiral into a rough game, but staying present is a skill you can train just like your backhand. Take a breath, bounce the ball once or twice, and refocus on the next shot instead of the last one.
