Tennis makes you perceptive, proactive, reactive all at the same time. Tennis teaches you the subtlety of human interaction, the curse and blessing of cause and effect. Tennis teaches you there&#8217;s no such thing as perfect, you wanna be perfect, you hope to be perfect, and then you&#8217;re out there and realize you&#8217;re far from perfect. And after playing tennis, you never forget that we are all connected.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Andre Agassi<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">.<\/span><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis.ireneeng.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/IMG_8244-Copy.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-37158\" title=\"IMG_8244 - Copy\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tennis.ireneeng.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/IMG_8244-Copy-1024x173.jpg\" width=\"480\" height=\"81\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tennis.ireneeng.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/IMG_8244-Copy-1024x173.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.tennis.ireneeng.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/IMG_8244-Copy-300x50.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a name=\"AAA\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: tempus sans itc; color: #00ff00;\">About this group<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We play for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.greatneckbcc.org\/\">a good cause<\/a>, with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis.ireneeng.com\/?page_id=37011\">group<\/a> of players, male and female with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.usta.com\/Play-Tennis\/USTA-League\/Information\/About_NTRP\/\">NTRP<\/a> 3.5 and up.
