Canebrake Swim and Tennis
Play hard at Canebrake Club. An exclusive community that brings recreation to life. Designed by a team of professionals dedicated to recreational developments, Canebrake Club is the ideal playground for people of all ages. At the heart of the community you will find the Canebrake Club Swim/Tennis Club. Recently completed, the club is sure to become the social gathering spot for the community.
The Tennis Complex offers six lighted state-of-the-art fast-dry clay tennis courts for every member of your family to enjoy. La-Ron Presnell, our staff Tennis Pro, is available to help with your game in private and group settings. La-Ron also organizes events for you to show off your tennis prowess or to simply have a fun day on the court. Canebrake Club is a USTA member.
Come swim or just soak up the sun by the pool, where a comfortable deck area will provide you with hours of relaxation and enjoyment with your family and friends. Social activitites are scheduled at the pool during the summer months, and attendants are on hand to sell beverages, take food orders and deliver them.

SPRING TENNIS GROUPS TO BEGIN IN MARCH
Spring Tennis Groups begin the week of Sunday, March 21st, with opportunities for everyone! Each session, unless otherwise specified, will last eight weeks.
We will have a mixed doubles league for the adults on Sunday nights at 7:00. The cost is $40.00 per person. Please do not sign up if you can’t come regularly; if you would like to play some, but cannot commit, we can put you on the substitute list instead.
We will offer a slightly different program for junior players with a two-day-a-week plan. Beginner players, ages 8 and up, will have group lessons on Mondays and Wednesdays from 3:30 to 4:30. Intermediate players of the same age will meet Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:30 to 4:30. The rate, to be paid ahead of time, will be $80.00 per person. These sessions will last four weeks.
On Tuesday nights, we will teach adult beginners from 7:00 to 8:00. This is open to anyone at a cost of $60.00 for six weeks. The basic tennis strokes will be covered.
On Thursday nights, we will begin a men’s doubles league at 7:00. You will play with a set partner this time (pick your own)! The cost is the same as for the mixed doubles league.
Please sign up in advance for any of our programs; class size is limited in most cases. Payment is expected before the first session begins. If you have any questions, feel free to call 232-6838 or e-mail us. We look forward to seeing you back out on the courts!
La-Ron
You can drive to Nashville, Birmingham, Atlanta, or Canebrake and enjoy the same kind of clay courts that the pros play on. The best news of all is that you do not have to be a pro to experience and enjoy the courts at Canebrake.
The Canebrake slogan is Live – Play – Belong and it is the playing and belonging that Tennis Pro, La-Ron Pressnell, is so passionate about. Today people have enough stress in their lives. Playing tennis is fun, and we have every intention of making and keeping it just that. The ‘Play’ is obvious--we play tennis, but ‘Belong’ is where the fun ramps up. Presnell was the original Canebrake Tennis Pro and the members are glad for his return. Presnell is intentional about creating teams and leagues. The added edge is La-Ron’s teaching ability. Private lessons with La-Ron will make the play on the courts even more enjoyable.
League play is a great way to get to know people. It is a lot of fun to compete at all levels of play. Presnell and his wife Kathy make the courts and the Pro Shop places where people look forward to going after a long day at the office. They care about the ‘Belong’ factor. Everybody wants to unwind, relax, and enjoy themselves and the Pressnells have taken on the responsibility of doing their part to make sure that the Tennis Courts of Canebrake are being utilized to that end.
Every business should have something to brag about! Canebrake certainly has earned bragging rights with the tennis experience the Pressnells are continuing to create.
