18+ I created this group because honestly, I can't find anything like it. My biggest hobbies are romance novels, exploring new music and my appreciation for crafts of any kind. I would love to create a group dedicated to these simple pleasures of life. As a black woman, it is hard to find these spaces without the stresses of world news, politics and other heavy conversation. As someone who struggles with anxiety however, it is necessary for me to create a space where we can forget about that and talk about the things we love. \*Please note: These conversations are still ***very*** important to be had, this is just not the space for that.\* This space is meant for friendship, peace and positivity! Our topics do not have to be limited just to these things, exploring our interests also means discovering new ones!

*Life is meant for good friends and great adventures!* We are looking for women 50 + that want to have fun and connect with other women. We will go hiking, kayaking, biking, camping, bonfires, play cards and games, visit museums, art fairs, festivals, concerts, comedy clubs and sporting events, attend professional and community theater, participate in crafts, dine out and visit wineries.  We encourage our members to suggest any adventures they would like to see added. Don't worry about coming to an event alone...that's what most do. You will always have a friendly face to greet you and introduce you to other members. Our hope is that you will walk away meeting new friends and create long-lasting friendships. We look forward to having you join us and hope to meet you soon! IMPORTANT: Please upload a clear photo of yourself for your profile picture.

Welcome to our group page! We are in the midst of indoor season at the Sports Club of West Bloomfield--please see individual events for details. \*\* **PICKLEBALL**: We are starting to try adding Pickleball courts. If you are a player, feel free to apply for the group and note Pickleball in your comments. Assume all tennis comments below also apply to Pickleball. **\*\*** Below are the overall rules of the group. By attending any of our Meetup events, you agree to all of these and any additional details on the events. **\*\*\* GROUP OVERVIEW \*\*\*\*** Welcome tennis players. Our tennis group consists of a random group of people, some of which have been playing tennis for many years. This group was formed to find new and fun people to play tennis with, make new friends and to possibly take our game to the next level. We play outdoors in the summer and indoors at the Sports Club of West Bloomfield in the winter. Occasionally after tennis, we’ll go out for a drink. Please feel free to join us anytime. Please read everything below and join us for some tennis fun and exercise. See you on the courts! **\*\*SKILL LEVEL REQUIREMENTS\*\*** This Meetup is open for intermediate players and up (for example a [3.0-3.5 USTA ranking](https://assets.usta.com/assets/1/15/ExperiencedGuidelines_02142011_V2pdf.pdf))--no beginners, please. For this group, the minimum requirements are that a player is \*consistent\* with hitting and scoring medium-paced shots, keeping score, and serving. Sorry no beginners or learners, please. We appreciate everyone learning tennis (we've all been there) and just want to maintain a consistent level within the group. If you or the group's leadership team are not comfortable with your level, or if you just want a lighter level of play, please take drills or lessons, or join an appropriate group, such as: https://www.meetup.com/PlayYourCourt-Greater-Detroit-Tennis/ OR, if your level is too HIGH, check out our other group: https://www.meetup.com/Novi-Tennis-Group-Advanced/ **\*\*COURT ASSIGNMENTS\*\*** We organizers will do our best to match up similar skill level players with one another to keep the matchups fun for all. When possible we will switch courts and/or partners (if playing doubles) for variety. **\*\*WEATHER\*\*** In case of bad weather please follow the comment section of the current Meetup and the organizers will do our best make a decision between 4pm and 5pm on that day. **\*\*RULES\*\*** Players who fail to follow these rules could be subject to removal from the group. No-shows could also result in removal from the group. 1. MEMBERS ONLY: In order to join us for Meetups, you must be a member of Meetup and the group, no guests please. We need to ensure that every member has filled out the questionnaire for level of play to properly assign court matchups. See below for information on our one-time annual member fee. 2. RSVP POLICY: If you RSVP but are unable to attend, you can change your RSVP as soon as possible or at the very latest, by the cancellation deadline posted in the Meetup description. Not canceling your reservation could create an odd numbers of players and doesn’t allow those on the waitlist (see item 3) to play. For indoor season, since we have to pay in advance for court time we may ask you to pay for no-show time if we can't fill your spot. Players with 2 or more no-shows without proper cancellation are subject to removal from the group. Note: We understand that things happen in life and late cancellations may be necessary at times. We just kindly ask that you let the organizer know ASAP by sending a text/call, sending a Meetup message, or by posting in that Meetup’s discussion board so that they can make appropriate adjustments. 3. WAITLIST: Due to court availability, we place a limit of 8-12 players for each Meetup. If there are more than the limit, Meetup will automatically create a "Waitlist" and will move people from that list to RSVP if there's a cancellation. We respectfully ask that all players on this list be available to play in case someone drops on the RSVP list, even on the day of the Meetup. If you aren’t sure that you can make it please remove yourself from the waitlist. Note: If there are enough RSVPs on the waitlist, the organizers may open the Meetup to add a court for the players from the waitlist. This will depend on court availability at that particular location. 4. PHOTO: We request that members display their actual photo and name on our meetup site so we know who you are when you show up. 5. ARRIVAL TIME: We ask that all players do their best to show up on time and stay until the end of the meetup. If you are running late, please post on that particular Meetup’s discussion, PM or text the organizer. 6. EVEN NUMBER: We prefer an even number of players. If you were the last RSVP and you make it an odd number we kindly ask you to change your RSVP to “No” before the Meetup starts. We will do our best to see if we can find a player to keep it even. It is not always possible to avoid this situation. 9. USTA RULES: When playing, try to follow the [USTA rules](https://www.usta.com/content/dam/usta/pdfs/20180119_2018FAC-full.links.pdf#). We encourage this for those players that play on USTA teams, and for others to develop good habits. “If it’s close, it’s in.” 10. DELAYS: If playing in early spring, late summer or fall and there is a high school match being played, please do not go on the courts until an organizer confirms that it’s alright to do so. 11. RESPECT: Please be kind, courteous and respectful to everyone. We are all here to have a good time while getting some exercise and improving our tennis skills. 12. FORMAT: Unless stated in the Meetup header the format will be as follows. If enough players are willing to play singles, and we have enough courts available, we will do so. Otherwise, we will default to doubles. When possible, we will switch partners and/or opponents for variety of play. 13. TENNIS BALLS: Bring some tennis balls! Please don’t assume everyone will have some. If we all pitch in, it will be a lot cheaper for everyone in the long run. 14. FUN: Lastly and most importantly: have fun!!! **\*\*ANNUAL OUTDOOR FEE\*\*** We ask each player attending our outdoor Meetups to contribute a $10 ONE-TIME annual fee, which covers our $180 annual Meetup fee while giving you the convenience of a managed group and regular events. Any excess fees will be used to purchase balls or cover a fall outing. You may attend one Meetup without cost to see if you like it. If you'd like, you can PayPal, Venmo, ApplePay or Zelle to Ron Flannery (rflan444@iCloud.com, 248-318-5016).
