Summer Social Tennis

If you want to hit the ball, improve your technique, or meet new people with a similar interest (tennis of course), then summer social tennis is for you!

Starting in May and ending in October (weather permitting), you need to register each week for one of the spots available, at a cost of $11. Stay tuned to your email to register. 

Format

After the pairings are set for each court at the specified start time, everyone plays a half hour match. The winning pair moves up a court and splits up. The losing pair goes down a court and splits up. You play with a different partner each half hour session. For the end courts, if you are on court 1 and win, you stay where you are. If you are on court 8 (or the lowest court) and lose, you stay where you are.

If time is called and the score is tied, play one more point to determine who moves up and down.

You switch partners every half hour session. If you are preparing for a tournament, we can give you the first session with your partner. Then that's it. It's social tennis. If you need more tournament practice, you can organize your own matches outside of social.

Since it's social tennis, the rules are way more relaxed. For your first two serving points of the night, you get first in, both sides. There aren't formal change-overs where you take a break and switch ends, but take a quick sip of water and rehydrate anyway. And be generous with the line calls.

For example:
At 7:30 pm on Court 2 are Sunil and Nancy vs. Perry and Russ.
If Sunil and Nancy win, then at 8pm, they go up to Court 1 and play with different partners. Perry and Russ go down to court 3 and play with different partners.

Rainout Policy

• Before play: If the session is rained out, we will email you and give you a full credit that can be used towards your next TLGTA event. We like to wait till 3-4pm to send out the email, just in case the weather clears up.
• During play: If it rains while you are playing, you will receive a full credit if you played less than 90 minutes (3 x 30min sessions). Anything more than that, we will not be issuing a refund/credit.
