For the North Ranch Country Club 3.0 Ladies’ USTA Nice Aces team the emphasis has always been more on “Nice” than “Aces”. Co-captains Natalie Bocchi and Tracy Collins and all team members promote a friendly and fun environment under which team members support each other and the team while simultaneously working together on game strategy and encouraging each player to work on her own individual skill set. 

The formula seems to be working because the Nice Aces achieved an impressive 9-1 season record and the number one position for the 2024 USTA Winter Season and will be representing Ventura County at the USTA Southern California Sectionals tournament in San Diego May 31-June 2, 2024.  This team consists of women spanning from their early 40’s to early 60’s, moms, professionals, and empty nesters, all of whom share a passion for tennis and a dedication to making this team the best it can be while having tons of fun with each other in the process. If the team wins Sectionals it will be back in San Diego in October 2024  to represent all of Southern California in the Nationals Championships. 

Best of luck ladies!
