SATURDAY UPDATE
Hi everyone, Some great play so far in the Clem Easton! For Saturday, we are watching possible rain. We will start outdoors for sure. We do have indoor backup for when rain arrives, but are hoping to wait any weather out if possible. Please be prepared for delays and no rain dances please! Please be conscious of your warm-up and changeover times to help keep us on schedule today. Looking forward to seeing everyone!

Welcome to the Clem Easton Tournament
Hi everyone, Looking forward to a great tournament. Weather looks great for Thursday & Friday; fingers crossed for Saturday & Sunday. We do have some indoor backup but it is hard court and fewer courts than we have outdoors so we will do our best to keep things outdoors as best we can.
Please respect the Field Club of Longmeadow's parking and no pets policies. Also, we will have some light snacks, but take the time to enjoy the Field Club's snack bar as well. Great for lunch! Showers and locker rooms are available in the pool building. Please bring your own towel.
Any questions or concerns during the tournament, please use karenfawthrop@hotmail.com or 413-219-5151 / 413-519-7355. See you soon!
