I hope that you all have been enjoying playing racquet sports in September, it has been great to see so many players out on these beautiful courts! I am making no promises, but it looks like the weather is starting to turn! Personally, I can’t wait to get outside and play tennis and pickleball. I am hoping to add Padel to my resume before the end of the year as well!

Racquet Sports Newsletter
In the next couple of weeks, I will begin to email Members interested in racquets-specific information periodically. If you’d like to ensure you receive these emails, please email me at
mdeswardt@houstonian.com and mention you’d like to be added to the racquet sports newsletter list.

Our junior program is in full swing from Monday to Friday from 4 to 6:30 p.m. If you have any questions regarding our junior program, please reach out to Leo Contini at

Exciting Things to Come!
I hope to add a couple of fun cardio workouts for Halloween and during the upcoming holiday season. I am also delighted about the new pickleball facility that the Club’s ownership has invested in. I look forward to many battles on our dedicated pickleball courts with our membership.
Most importantly, I want to thank this amazing membership for making my transition to The Houstonian such a welcome one.
