AlphaSights Repeats As League Champion At Metro Corporate League’s Fall 2024 Season End-Of-Season Finals and Party
The Metro Corporate League’s Fall 2024 season came to a close in grand fashion as Roosevelt Island Racquet Club hosted the end-of-season finals and party, bringing together the two finalists from each respective division, as well as players from other teams throughout the league.
The end-of-season finals is the culmination of a long season in the Metro Corporate League and features not only the championship matches in three of the league’s divisions, but also welcomes players and teams who did not reach the finals for an evening of catered dinner, open bar and fun atmosphere. While the players competed on courts, spectators were able to watch the matches and enjoy each other’s company in the viewing area of Roosevelt Island Racquet Club.
As happens in each season, the winners of the Advanced Division earns the trophy and keeps it at their corporate offices until the end of the following season, while the winners of the Advanced Intermediate moves up to the Advanced Division, and the winners of the Intermediate Division move into the Advanced Intermediate.
Fall 2024 Champions:
Advanced Division: AlphaSights
Advanced Intermediate Division: J.P. Morgan
Intermediate Division: The E Team
AlphaSights successfully defended its Advanced Division title from the Summer 2024 season, and will now be in search of a three-peat in the Winter 2025 season in the Metro Corporate League.
Shelly Yaloz, who captained the Advanced champions AlphaSights, said:
“The key to my team successfully defending the Advanced Division title this season was our dedication—both on the court and in the gym—combined with the unwavering support we showed each other,” she said. “The chemistry we built through consistent practice and teamwork allowed us to play as one cohesive unit. “I truly enjoy the high-level competition and networking opportunities that the Metro Corporate League provides. Traveling with my coworkers at the end of a workday to play the sport I love alongside other advanced players is the highlight of my week. I highly recommend the Metro Corporate League to other high-level or former college players. It offers a professional and positive environment where athletes can connect, compete, and unwind with bites and drinks.”
“We are very excited to continue providing New York City with a fun and competitive co-ed team tennis experience. We are popular with the corporations in New York City and it’s challenging to keep up with demand. This season we are at a record 65 teams,” said Pam Glick, the Treasurer for the Corporate League. “Our newest addition to the league, our Hi-Five division, has been a HIT with corporate tennis enthusiasts. By offering competitive leagues and a non-competitive division, we are able to guarantee our clients an incredible tennis experience from the beginner level to ex-Division 1 college players! The league offers opportunities for players to network and form relationships with their own fellow employees as well as those from other businesses. We LOVE to see how corporate tennis has grown in Manhattan as more and more new companies sign up each season.”
