About Us
Having just started playing tennis a few months ago (summer 2006) in the Minneapolis City Parks I found the on line information for tennis in Minneapolis ( and St Paul ) nearly impossible to find on the Internet. Here is a chance to make reference to our favorite places to play, shop, tips (both online and on the court), for Minneapolis St Paul residents. I am by far the authority on information on tennis here in Minneapolis or St. Paul. However I am ready to make every effort to keep a dialogue open and post links as they come. Please please please share your information with us to post for the rest of the area tennis players. My wife and I (Derrik Dyka & Sunny Yee) are area realtors. Let us know if we can help with the purchasing or selling of a home. We live where you live - talk to us about real estate.
Scott Carlson has been a tennis enthusiast for about 20 years, playing competitive league and team tennis for the past 11 years. He is a strong 3.5 player and especially enjoys doubles.

Scott and his family live in New Brighton, He’s eager to swap tennis tips, stories etc. with other like-minded folks.

I have been learning tennis for 3 months now under a tennis instructor. However, my forearm’s shoulder & my elboe hurts everytime i move. I don’t know if this due to my recent tennis exercise. Is there anything i should be worried or do something about my tennis.

Are you using a dampener?
I would think the tennis pro/instructor might have some best feedback on this. What are they saying?

Linda,
It’s good you are paying attention to your aching elbow and shoulder. I don’t know if you just get out on the court and start hitting away. Stretching before and afterwards are really important. Youre tennis pro is the best person to seek out for additonal advice. I’d just be careful. I have a good friend who has been out of action for about a year because he developed tennis elbow and for the first three or four months tried to play through it.
Good luck.
