Drop-in, Social Play
All adult tennis enthusiasts in Cascades are invited to join in mixed social play that is held five times a week throughout the outdoor playing season. With
social tennis you improve your game while meeting your neighbors and finding new hitting partners. And best of all, it's free. :-)
To participate simply drop-in with your racquet, a new can of balls and your water bottle. New participants should check-in with the coordinator for a briefing
on format and rules.
To ensure a positive playing experience for all participants, the social play tennis schedule for 2009 weather permitting is as follows.
Evening Sessions
All evening sessions start at 7pm at the Stone House courts. Building on the success of years past, the expanded 2009 social tennis schedule includes three
nights of play:
- Mondays: Advanced Mixed Singles (NTRP ~3.5, 4.0);
- Wednesdays: Intermediate Mixed Singles (NTRP ~2.5, 3.0); and,
- Thursdays: Advanced Mixed Doubles (NTRP ~3.0+. 3.5, 4.0).
To participate, simply drop-in at your preferred event(s). Upon arrival, please sign-in on the
participants list located between courts 2 and 3. Then, join
the other players warming up. New
participants should check-in with the coordinator for a briefing on the rules and playing format.
Morning Sessions
Intermediate Mixed Doubles sessions are held on Monday and Wednesday mornings
from 9-11am at the Quarterpath Trace courts.
To participate, simply drop-in at a scheduled session. The morning social tennis sessions
are hosted by the 50+ Club.
Singles and Doubles Play Rules
Social play runs from the first week of May through the end of October, weather permitting.
There is a standard play format established for each social but there is flexibility in modifying them to adapt to the level of play or number
of
players in attendance at that time.
Volunteers are needed to ensure successful social night play. Please contact Michele Kalin if you are interested in helping out as a social night coordinator.
