KAMLOOPS — There's a rhythm under the bubble, the constant whack, whack of tennis balls flying over the net and back again.
On this day, the Kamloops Tennis Club courts are replete with athletic types working on their backhands, volleys and drop shots — and then the grey-haired set arrives, gym bags are plonked onto the benches, water bottles brought out and sneakers put on.
The women, all but one retired and that exception says she's semi-retired, hit the courts several times a week for some exercise, fun and socializing.
They have the one male interloper — Chris Sladden joins them regularly.
