You can see the big Sports Center projects from a mile away, but the upgrades that change how a place *feels* are often the ones most people never notice. We’re joined by Paula (Director of Sports) and Michael Stevenson (Sports Facility Maintenance Manager) for a clear, behind-the-scenes look at what’s been happening across tennis and the surrounding facilities at Bonita Bay Club, and what members can look forward to as the season ramps up.

We get specific about clay tennis court maintenance: the annual tennis court resurfacing routine, why rolling matters, how lines get reset, and why fresh material keeps the surface comfortable instead of turning into a “hard court with clay on top.” Then we dig into laser grading, the precision process that restores proper slope so courts drain the way they’re supposed to after rain. If you’ve ever wondered why some courts dry faster or play more consistently, this is the part you’ll want to hear.

We also walk through the highly visible upgrades members will love right away: renovated back bathrooms with air conditioning, improved storage conditions, and brand-new tennis gazebos designed to be taller and more functional with ceiling fans and electrical power for equipment like ball machines. Add in updated tennis windscreens with the refreshed club logo, plus the growing buzz around major events like the collegiate tournament, and it’s easy to see why the Sports Center is building momentum.

If you’re excited about better courts, smarter drainage, and comfort upgrades that make long play days easier, hit play now, then subscribe, share this with a fellow member, and leave a quick review to help more people find the show.
