West Omaha Women's Tennis League
2025 SEASON UPDATE!!
Dear WOWTL friends,
Welcome to the 53rd consecutive year of WOWTL (West Omaha Women’s Tennis League)! Please read the following information carefully as there is action required of you.
The Board will remain the same as last year: Liz Sambol (president) |Natalie Simmonds (vice-president ) |Charlene Liesveld (secretary) | Tami Bourland ( treasurer) and | Jen Mitten (website administrator ).
We have some new challenges for the upcoming season. The main stumbling block is the availability of courts As of now, there are only 3 courts available at Koch on Mondays and 3 on Wednesdays until after Memorial Day. We are reluctant to sign a contract that we may be unable to honor and still be obliged to pay for.
As a consequence, the Board has decided delay the start of the season and begin after Memorial Day this year, and adjust the charges accordingly. New courts will be released for play as they are completed, which is why the start date is fluid at this time. Hopefully after Memorial Day we will be able to accommodate everyone wishing to play on WOWTL. Stay tuned for another email when we know more.
Our present goal is to get an idea of how many courts we will need. Mondays we’ll have the Silver’s on their usual day. In addition we will have 2 courts of USTA rated 4.5 players. This will be called the A league. Wednesday will host the B league (3.5 -4.0 players) and C league (3.0-3.5 players). Wednesdays will continue to use an improved Round-Robin format. Singles will continue with the usual format as the court situation should not be a problem for you.
Because no stats will be recorded, each spot is also eligible to split between two players, with one of the players responsible for payment of the entire league. No more than two players may split a spot.
What we need from everyone at this time is a response ASAP indicating whether you desire to play, on which day (M or W) and if it is a single spot or a split. You would need to provide the name of the person with whom you will be splitting. Please email [email protected] by Wednesday April 16th, so we can calculate an approximate number of courts we will need to initiate this year’s league.
We encourage each and every one of you to inspire players you know to join WOWTL. It is such a great way to socialize and play some fun tennis! We apologize for the uncertainty of this upcoming season. Rest assured we are doing our best to accommodate your desire to play tennis as often as you would like.
Please email Liz Sambol at [email protected] by Wednesday April 16th with your intentions. Also, give us the names and contact information for possible new players, so they can be added to our email correspondence.
We are looking forward to a great, even if abbreviated, summer season.
Sincerely,
2025 WOWTL Board
