Summer Splash Pool Party 2013

Jr. Academy members Natasha and Sophie, with sister Lucy

We had an outstanding day poolside last Saturday during Portland Athletic Club's annual Summer Splash Pool Party. Several PAC members, friends, and family members socialized while playing pool volleyball, swimming, relaxing in the hot tub, listening to music, and enjoying pizza, snacks, and refreshments. The sun was shining throughout and everyone had a great time! We have many more member events coming up, so no worries if you missed out on this one. Keep an eye out on your email and for fliers at the front desk for upcoming events. And make sure to follow us on Facebook and Twitter.

Campers Had a Ball at PAC's June Tennis Camp!


Portland Athletic Club’s Tennis Camp Session 1 was a great success! We had just about every spot filled with kids ranging in ages (5 to 15) and skill levels (beginner to advanced). Coaches Chase and David led campers through a wide range of fun, tennis-oriented drills and games, with plenty of breaks for popcorn, lunch, and even popsicles! Many of the kids had such a blast that they immediately signed up for the July and/or August Camps, as well. Our pool is officially open now, so campers are invited to bring their bathing suits if they choose to cool off!

Need more reasons to sign up?

1.     Campers receive expert instruction from USTA-certified coaches with years of experience to help perfect their tennis game.
2.     PAC camps provide an outlet for campers to stay physically active and healthy during lazy summer months away from school.
3.     Campers will meet new friends, socialize, and build confidence all while learning skills that they will carry on through life, such as teamwork and sportsmanship.
4.     Most importantly, PAC’s emphasis is on FUN and bringing a smile to everyone’s face. Our goal is to provide a positive way for campers to channel their energy and enjoy themselves in a pressure-free, non-competitive atmosphere.

Portland Athletic Club Pros Maureen Harwood and Jim Martin Lead Tennis Teens to Victory


Maureen Harwood, who was recently named Coach of the Year by her peers, led her Oregon Episcopal School boys varsity single and doubles teams to victory in the Class 4A State Championships on May 18th. The win marks the second year in a row the team has won States at the helm of Maureen’s instruction.

Fellow PAC coach Jim Martin joined Maureen on the court sidelines in the third set. Jim, coach of Valley Catholic’s boys and girls tennis teams and personal tournament coach, provides lessons to OES’ Josh Yuan. Two other students of Jim’s also took home titles at States—Kaitlyn Lomartire and Matt Biggi, both of Valley Catholic, took home second and third in singles respectively.

We are extremely proud to count Maureen and Jim as part of our PAC family! Both accomplished instructors run tennis clinics and lessons here all week long. Call today to learn from the best! (503) 292-2649
