Our 8th Annual LGSRC NTRP Doubles Challenge is May 15th – 17th, but Friday
night will only be used in the case of very large draws. The deadline to register is
Wednesday, May 6th. This year’s event has been named one of only four Grand
Slam events that the USTA offers each year. This Grand Slam designation should
create more players and therefore offer a wider variety of competitors for you to play
against. We have Men’s, Women’s and Mixed events ranging from 2.5 – 5.0. If you
are available we would love to have you come out and play in a fun and competitive
USTA tournament right here on your home courts. You can play in two events as long
as they are at the same NTRP level. For example: Mixed 3.5 and Women’s 3.5, but not
Mixed 3.5 and Women’s 4.0. We will be having our “Triples Tournament” and players
barbecue on Saturday, May 16th from 12:00 – 2:00pm. All players who enter will
receive a performance fabric t-shirt and free lunch at the barbecue. You can click on
the link below to register online for this great event. If you have any questions feel free
to e-mail Vince Russo at [email protected]. We hope to see you there!

DON’T GET BURNED!
SUN SAFETY TIPS
Summer is almost here! Who doesn’t want to be outside, sunbathing, swimming, playing
catch on the beach or just barbecuing in the backyard? While summer means fun in
the sun, make sure you’re not getting too much of a good thing. Avoid consequences
of overexposure to the sun like sunburns, premature aging of the skin, wrinkling,
and skin cancer, including melanoma by practicing proper sun protection. The hours
between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. are the most hazardous for UV exposure in the continental
United States. UV rays are the greatest during the late spring and early summer in
North America.
CDC recommends easy options for sun protection:
Sunscreen
•Use sunscreen with sun protective factor (SPF) 15 or higher, and both UVA
and UVB protection. •Sunscreen wears off. Put it on again if you stay out in the sun for more than two hours,
and after you swim or do things that make you sweat.
•Check the sunscreen’s expiration date. Sunscreen without an expiration date
has a shelf life of no more than three years, but its shelf life is shorter if it has been
exposed to high temperatures.
Clothing •Wear clothing to protect exposed skin.
•Loose-fitting long-sleeved shirts and long pants made from tightly woven fabric offer
the best protection from the sun’s UV rays. A wet T-shirt offers much less UV protection than a
dry one. Darker colors may offer more protection than lighter colors.
•If wearing this type of clothing isn’t practical, at least try to wear a T-shirt or a beach coverup. Keep in mind that a typical T-shirt has an SPF rating lower than 15, so use other types of
protection as well.
Hats •Wear a hat with a wide brim to shade the face, head, ears, and neck.
•For the most protection, wear a hat with a brim all the way around that shades your face, ears,
and the back of your neck. A tightly woven fabric, such as canvas, works best to protect your
skin from UV rays. Avoid straw hats with holes that let sunlight through. A darker hat may offer
more UV protection.
•If you wear a baseball cap, you should also protect your ears and the back of your
neck by wearing clothing that covers those areas, using sunscreen with at least SPF 15, or by
staying in the shade.
Sunglasses
•Sunglasses protect your eyes from UV rays and reduce the risk of cataracts. They also protect
the tender skin around your eyes from sun exposure.
•Wear sunglasses that wrap around and block as close to 100% of both UVA and UVB rays as
possible.
•Sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays offer the best protection. Most sunglasses sold
in the United States, regardless of cost, meet this standard.
Shade •Seek shade, especially during midday hours.
•You can reduce your risk of skin damage and skin cancer by seeking shade under
an umbrella, tree, or other shelter before you need relief from the sun. Your best bet to
protect your skin is to use sunscreen or wear protective clothing when you’re outside—
even when you’re in the shade.
