It is with heavy hearts that we notify all of you of the unexpected passing of our good friend Michael Schroeder. As many of you know, Mike was a strong supporter of the St. Pete Tennis Center, serving on our Board of Directors and organizing a Tuesday morning tennis group.
Mike had a real gift in his ability to transfer thoughts into words. He spent part of his career as a journalist for the Wall Street Journal. Even though his term as a board member at the Tennis Center had recently ended, Michael continued to co-author the SPTC newsletter, including the one many of you received just a few weeks ago. He wrote spotlight articles about members at the club, commentary on the rules of the game and notifications about upcoming events.
Those of us who got to know him personally knew he cared deeply for his family and his friends, had a great sense of humor and LOVED the game of tennis.
Mike’s family is asking that anyone who wants to make contributions consider a scholarship donation to the “Michael Schroeder Scholarship Fund” for the benefit of the Courier Kids Program. Please make checks payable to “The Tennis Foundation of Saint Petersburg.” This is a 501(c)(3) tax deductible contribution. You can either use the link below or send a donation to the front desk at the Tennis Center.
He will be greatly missed.

Such a great guy, always enjoyed working on the "grounds crew" with him at the RJ Tournament in the spring.
This is very sad news. My condolences to his family. Mike was a truly genuine, giving and welcoming person. He will be missed by myself and many many others! Rest in Peace Mike. 🥲
Such an amazing guy and his unwaivering support to the club is unmeasurable. I believe there should be a tribute plaque placed for a rememberance....
Mike was a founder of SPTC'S "Lob-Sirs". We're the "old guys" who most often play doubles at 8:30 on T-Th-Sat. Mike raised the money that helped SPTC purchase the new ball machine after the 2024 hurricanes. For that reason, you'll see the colorful "Lob-Sirs" logo affixed to the ball machine. Thanks, Mike! Miss you, my friend.
Unbelievable to hear the sad news about Mike. A great guy. Always so welcoming to everyone. A great representative of the SPTC! He will be missed.
Rest in Peace 🎾
My condolences

Wait, who decides to run the contest during the month I am taking OFF from tennis to recover from an injury??? 😉
Last night at the Tennis Center “Sanjay's 3.5ish Singles Group” not only filled 12 courts with 24 players for two hours of competitive singles play, but celebrated Cinco de Mayo just a little bit early (Cinco d’Uno??) with tasty social get-together after the end of play, featuring food from Nueva Cantina along with classic Mexican beers and tequila drinks. �
The group includes guys and gals in the 3.0+ to 4.0- level, and has grown from about 10 people and it started a year ago to over 80 on the roster. If you're ever down at the Tennis Center on a Friday night, you will see the players out there battling each other, with the winners of the “First to Five” set moving up a court and the losers moving down to take on the next opponent.
Thank you SO MUCH to SPTC Member Sanjay Gosalia for doing an incredible job of growing this group, and thank you Jack Bailey and the Tennis Center for providing some excellent refreshment after the play last night! ... See MoreSee Less
