October Newsletter 2018
We are having a great time here at the club! Maybe it's the amazing weather or the fact that my kids are back at school, but last month was a blast and I truly can't wait for the Fall! Our amazing staff members Jamie Jackson and Sarah Sidote-Ortiz had another great Wine and Paint night. We had 23 people come out for the event and it was amazing!
I am very excited about the great things happening at our Cafe this month. We have a new menu along with a great staff. The menu focuses on pre and post workout snacks, smoothies, soups, salads and sandwiches. All fresh and healthy ingredients! For the month of October I really want everyone to give it a try so we are having 20% off all items in the Cafe! I hope everyone takes advantage of this great offer!
I hope everyone has a great October and don't forget our Fall Festival on the 19th!!
See Ya at the Club!

OVAC COACHES ATTEND 2018 ASCA WORLD CLINIC
Coach Elin and Coach Wenke had the opportunity to attend the 2018 ASCA World Clinic in Anaheim. This is the largest swimming clinic in the world with 1500 attending coaches, 30 speakers and 100 exhibitions. The American Swimming Coaches Association or ASCA is a professional organization for Swimming Coaches in the USA. It was founded in 1958 and is based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. ASCA provides education opportunities for swimming coaches, such as the annual World Clinic. Attending the clinic, listening to the speakers and visiting the exhibition hall gave us new ideas and inspiration to continue our path as coaches for the Ojai Heat Waves.

TENNIS NEWS
Fall league action is in full swing (pun intended?) on both the men's and women's sides and our teams are doing fantastic. The men's 8.0 and 9.0 55+teams just completed their seasons with an appearance at sectionals after each had finished first in the regular season league.
The ladies A2 team is in high gear as they kicked off their 2018/2019 Interclub campaign with an impressive 4-0 win at home over last year’s league champions from La Cumbre and then followed that with another convincing 4-0 sweep of Montecito on the road!
The ladies B Interclub lost a very close match on the road at Pierpont Racquet Club 1-3 that could have gone either way with three 3-set matches. The ladies USTA Doubles 3.5 and 4.0 and men's 4.0 and 4.5 are all off to great starts.
All tennis players know the joy of opening and hitting with a new can of fresh balls but what to do when those new balls have lost their fuzz and bounce? Please don't throw them in the trash! They can be recycled and used for other purposes. We have a receptacle in between courts 5 and 6 for the disposal of dead balls. They are either ground up to make rubberized playground surfaces or can be donated to whole to schools and retirement homes for use on desks and walkers.
We have just gotten a new remote for the ball machine so for those of you that use it please treat it kindly. The balls are also up to snuff so feel free to rent an hour or two in order to get your groove back if it's gone missing.
A quick request -after you're done playing please clean up your court of towels, cups, tennis ball cans/lids/tops in order to keep our newly-washed courts looking spiffy and also to make it an enjoyable experience for other members who use the court after you.

REBUILD – No Pressure Small Group Training. OVAC is unique and special because of YOU. And we are pleased to present an opportunity for our mature members or those who are deconditioned, but still want to engage in life as fully as possible. REBUILD is the most effective, pain-free and cost-efficient way to look better, move better or feel younger. Exercise for mature populations or those new to exercise can be a scary prospect. You want to be fit and healthy, but the fear of injury (past and future) is real. You need a coach who understand what you are experiencing both physically and mentally. You need someone to listen and understand your needs. REBUILD will show you it is literally never too late to start, no matter how unfit you feel. REBUILD will provide a safe environment for you to realize your potential for physical, social and mental well-being. The primary focus will be to increase your strength, joint range of motion and stamina to make each and every day vital.
REHAB-No Pain Small Group Training. Are you tired of constantly being in pain? Or do you seem to end up injured every time you try to start an exercise program? REHAB was created specifically with you in mind. REHAB is open to all who want to get out of pain and make sure they stay out of pain. This specialized program will help you progress past the hurdle of your pain or injuries so you can escape the frustration of being injured or the annoyance of the tweaks and twinges of aging. It’s time to move again and feel good about it.
