COTA

| Meet the Team: Neighbors to Teammates 🎾

One group of local ladies has taken “community” to the next level! 💚

What started as a few neighbors splitting tennis lessons with their neighbor and coach, Debbie Beck, quickly grew into something much bigger. Over the past few years, weekly neighborhood clinics, Sunday speed singles, and fun family tennis days have helped these Athens neighbors build both their skills and their friendships.

Encouraged by Debbie, the ladies officially formed a COTA tri-level team this past season after planning it all together at a neighborhood holiday breakfast!

For this team, tennis has become more than just a sport. It’s a way to connect with neighbors, welcome new friends, and build lasting friendships both on and off the court.

Sports have the power to bring people together, and we love seeing how tennis continues to strengthen our community. 👏🎾

Team members include: Allison March, Eleanor Patterson, Heather Tabor, Sabrina Campbell, Angie Garcia, Jessica Morgan, Lindy Davis, Kasey Shuler, and Beth Katz.
