Jumpstart (see other menu item) is a great program that starts every year after our Open House. It lasts 10 weeks but when it ends, new residents in particular may not know other “rusties” well enough to feel comfortable making their own tennis reservations. Going to drop-in may not help if there is no one else who decides to drop-in that day. What’s offered in Open Play, as opposed to drop-in, is a time and place to meet, to make friends and to improve tennis skills by practice, practice, practice, knowing that at specific times an experienced tennis player will be on court with them to organize play. Any member can show up! It’s fun to play at different levels, different intensities. The job of the organizer is to help mix everyone up, while keeping it safe. We encourage anyone who wants a relaxed environment, with the possibility of making new friends and partners, to come on down to courts 5 & 6 and join in the fun. During winter hours (November to March) the Open Play starts at 3 and goes until 4:30. The rest of the year it runs from 4:30 to 6.
Unlike drop-in times, you can let the leader of the day know you will be there by signing in on the YourCourts system, but it is not required.
