Lace up your tennis shoes and sign-up to participate in the Tennis Club’s annual Men and Women’s Doubles tournament September 17th and 18th. Follow the US Open tournament currently on TV for inspiration! Tennis is a wonderful spectator sport, but participation is even better.
There will be categories for everyone’s skill level, and you will continue play no matter if you win or lose. The compass draw is designed for participation and each round will seek your skill level.
The categories will be: Men’s A, Men’s B, and Men’s over 80. Hopefully all 3 categories will have 8 teams, to insure everyone will have 3 matches, 2 on
Saturday and 1 on Sunday. Men’s A & B will be 2 out of 3 sets, 3rd set 10-point tie-break. Over 80 will be an 8 game pro set. The women will participate in the same 3 categories.
Tournament sign-ups will be online, so watch your emails for instructions.
The Club’s Mixed Doubles tournament will be 2 weeks later, October 1st and 2nd. And … on Sunday Oct 2nd we will have the Awards Banquet at Foothill Center, so put these dates on your calendar!
