Coaches Corner: Reduce Unforced Errors The safest placement of a ball return is soft and low in the middle of the court between your two opponents. This placement may cause both players to hesitate, thinking that his partner will hit the ball. Additionally, the soft hit gives your opponents no pace to work with. And remember my #1 Rule: Have Fun! LA SWIM CLUB By Sandy White Do you need or want good, regular, safe exercise? Do you like to swim, but don't like to swim alone?

LA ROCKERS By Annie Lutz One message at just the right moment can change someone's entire day, outlook, life. This is the mission of the LA Rockers and why we have been busy painting rocks and hiding them throughout the community to spread kindness. One of the events of Camp Lake Ashton 2025 was a class the LA Rockers held for a chance to learn how to paint rocks. As you can see in the picture, it was a huge success! Have you been lucky and found a rock? Please post a photo of your rock on Talk of Lake Ashton’s (TOLA) Facebook page. It means a lot for us to see that our rock was found, and it may bring a smile to those that see your post. Remember you can keep your rock or re-hide it to share it with others. We will continue our summer hiatus through August, and we'll resume meeting in September. If you’re interested in joining us, contact MJ Richards (mjmrichards517@gmail.com) for more information.
