Point. Set. Match. with a Whole Lotta Love

L ove reigns supreme in Tennis but there are no zeros here … just three people who serve to love and love to serve. Beth, Brett and Wilfredo are the heart of your tennis program. This trio is the epitome of service with a smile, an easy demeanor and genuine care of both the people and the courts of Boca Grove. Beth brings a SLICE of heaven to our program, always prepared to find a solution with a smile. She was born in Saigon, Vietnam, a country rich in history and traditions with a deep respect for the land, the sea and their ancestors. That culture radiates from Beth and is evident in her love of family and her environment. Beth has a beautiful daughter who just turned 23 and a lovable pup named Dylan, they are her world. Beth has a commitment to fitness with kickboxing being a personal favorite. Gardening also tops her list of things to do when not at Boca Grove - we are hoping she will share some of her expertise with our newly developing Garden Club. Brett is SMASHing with his ability to relate to all our players, of any age and skill level. Perhaps it’s all that time writing and recording music that has honed his intuition as Brett almost seems psychic in his ability to anticipate the needs of our members. His own needs are quite simple … he loves professional football, roller coasters and pizza. Can you say “All American”? And did you know there are two of him? Brett has a twin brother, just when you thought life couldn’t get any sweeter. Wilfredo is our ACE! Working behind the scenes to keep the courts watered and healthy, our ball machine functioning and the overall appearance manicured, inviting and clean. Originally from Honduras, Wilfredo has a happy, easy way about him. Like his native land, he is friendly, polite, with a smile on his face and always ready for a party. Although tacos would be his food of choice at a celebration, he delights in barbecuing for his friends and family. Wilfredo’s best times are spent with his four daughters, two sons and six grandchildren. Family evenings with popcorn and a movie make his heart sing. Although not in the photo, I would be remiss not to mention Don … our weekend warrior who steps in to manage the shop and the courts when our full-time tennis trio is not here. Don reflects the same culture that has been created at our tennis center by Richard’s team. All are friendly with a willingness to help and serve our members. We are lucky to have them on our team. It is often debated whether tennis is a team sport or not. We create teams in tennis, we learn in teams in tennis and we encourage our teammates when they are playing as singles or doubles in unison. So I would say tennis is indeed a team sport and you definitely have a winning team in your Tennis department. Point. Set. Match. Team Boca Grove WINS with lots of Love.

Vision Inspire and enable members to enjoy every day of their lives.
