Supporting people is the name of our game

Dedicated to helping others, Tom started Drop the Racquet as a way for people to stay active during the start of Covid. He set up places for racquet drop-offs, and strung racquets in his garage. Courts were open so tennis was an ideal way for people to de-stress and stay healthy.

Through his years in tennis, Tom has developed strong community ties, and Drop the Racquet gives back in many ways. Tom has played, taught, and coached forever — if you’ve never met him but you LOVE racquet or paddle sports - come into Drop the Racquet to say hello — the store is a headquarters for all racquet / paddle enthusiasts!
