Home to an Award Winning Couple

Alison and Adam Morgan work together and play together. The pair married in 2013 and in 2021, they assumed the roles of Co-Directors of Racquets at The Birchwood Club. Racquets runs in their bloodlines. Their fathers played against each other in a tennis tournament about 30 years ago. Adam’s grandfather founded the South Barrington Club, where his dad, Jay, is the Executive Director and his mom plays. Alison’s parents teach tennis. Audrey and Adam’s brother Karl both teach tennis and paddle. It was inevitable that Adam and Alison would follow in the family tradition.

The Morgans are certified USPTA/PPTA Professionals. Adam is currently ranked #9 in the nation for Platform Tennis and Alison is ranked #16 in the nation for Platform Tennis. The Morgan’s results at the Husband/Wife Nationals have always been stellar since their first appearance in 2014. They won the title in 2016 and 2017; they have been in the semifinals or finals every other time.
