Gladiator of the Month: Arvin G.
We're so excited to celebrate our Gladiator of the Month, Arvin. Over the past year, Arvin has played more matches than anyone else in our community: 16 complete seasons and 84 matches.
Arvin is the kind of player who shows up no matter what, ready to compete and improve. He makes everyone around him want to play better, push harder, and love this game even more. Arvin is a true Gladiator on and off the court, and we are so grateful to have him in our community.
So here's to you, Arvin. Thank you for showing all of us what real dedication looks like. You inspire us all. We can't wait to see what you do next!
Welcoming Eddie De La Cruz: Chicago League Ambassador
We are excited to welcome Eddie as our newest Gladiator Tennis Chicago Ambassador! Eddie is the Varsity Boys and Girls Tennis Coach at Willowbrook High School and has been an incredible advocate for tennis in the community both on and off the court. A seasoned Gladiator Tennis player himself, Eddie has been competing in our leagues for over 5 years at the 5.0 level and knows firsthand what makes our community so special. When he is not coaching or competing, you can find him sharing his love of the game on his social media platforms DropShotzDLC on both Instagram and YouTube. We are thrilled to have him on the team and cannot wait to see the impact he makes this season.
