For Outdoor Courts:

From April to October we play in outdoor courts. Outdoor courts that we play at currently are free. For start times and locations, refer to the Calendar page to get the list of scheduled upcoming games. Schedule is updated regularly based on feedback from members, In October, we might start the evening games earlier due to shortened daylight.

Here is what to expect for outdoor court booking:

• 6 hours prior to start time, all RSVPs should have been received from all interested players

• if only 2 or fewer players sign up, the game may be cancelled

• Games are setup based on number of players attending. If only 3, Australian Tennis is played, if 4, a regular doubles match, etc..

• Matches may be set by organizer to balance player levels if sufficient players attend

• On game day, check for emails to ensure matches have not been cancelled due to bad weather

• At game start, meet up with other players at court

• Have fun playing with others of similar interest

When we play outdoors, there are no fees of course, but we also can not make reservations, so please arrive early to help claim a court for yourself and your teammates.
