BTC Events …

The Club puts on several yearly tennis and entertainment events for its membership as well as the community. The planning of the entertainment committee and management with participation of volunteers produces pleasing and memorable events in which members and guests may enjoy. The Alta Bates Celebrity Tennis Event brings past tennis greats such as Stan Smith, Tracy Austin, Mats Wilander, Jim Courier, and Monica Seles to the BTC to benefit local charities which target at risk youth in the East Bay Area. The Easter Egg Brunch and Egg Hunt, the 4th of July BBQ & Swim Relay, and the Holiday Party are all favorites for the younger and older members of the Club. The Woodie Tournament is always an amusing event when players are quickly reminded about how small was the racket’s sweet spot and how challenging it was to stumble upon it. The Maze Cup, named after former member George Maze, pits the best Juniors of Northern California against those of Southern California. It is held every year in either Southern or Northern California (every 3rd year at the BTC) and has had such greats as Pete Sampras, Lindsay Davenport and Michael Chang as players who have participated.

All these scheduled events and other singular ones that may arise throughout a particular year serve to strengthen the ties of the membership and add new pages to the history of the Club.
