Player Spotlight: Paul Chasin
Paul Chasin recently joined the Men’s Tennis Team, bringing years of experience from his time playing at Oakland Hills. He began playing tennis around age 10 and continued through high school competition. Chasin later competed successfully on USTA teams, eventually stepping away around age 45 as the challenge of facing much younger opponents grew. He maintains his fitness through regular workouts, including cycling, upper-body and back conditioning at the Fitness Center, and swimming. Tennis remains an important contributor to both his physical health and mental well-being. In addition to tennis, Chasin stays active in Rossmoor through pickleball and swimming. He also enjoys the first-run movies shown on Thursdays and Fridays, which have become a popular attraction.
