What we’re about
This group is for tennis players (intermediate and up) who want to get on the tennis court and practice for a couple of hours. Currently, we meet most Saturdays 10-11:30 (NTRP 2.5-3), 10-12 (NTRP 3.5-4.5) .
Starting mid-October 2024, we will have Wednesday evenings 7-9 pm. Please keep checking, we may add more dates/ times.
Most events specify level of play. Please assess yourself as honestly as possible according to **this **chart before signing up. We would like to keep a well-balanced line-up for everyone's enjoyment and safety. Host reserves the right to remove people from events for falsifying skill level.
Fees:
Members are required to pay their reservation fee to the host of the event at the time of sign-up. Currently, it is $8/ person. This covers a portion of the court rental fee, tennis balls, and the MeetUp fee (organizers pay for this). Prices subject to change. The host of the event will post how they would like to be paid on the event description. Do not ask them to accept a different form of payment.
The payment is fully refundable if:
- a. The organizer is unable to reserve a court.
b. The organizer cancels the event.
c. You cancel before the court is reserved.
d. You are removed from the event by the host/ organizer. See Description on why you might be removed.
e. If it rains and the courts are unplayable (but check with Fremont Tennis Center, the day of the event. You do not determine if the courts are closed or not).
f. A paying member takes your spot after you cancel.
Host reserves the right to reduce the number of courts/ time on court depending on proposed attendance 7 days before the event. Members who do not show up to an event without notice will be removed from the group immediately.
Attendance:
Members who do not show up to an event without notice will be removed from the group immediately. Did we say that already?
Tardies (of more than 15 minutes):
Please be considerate of other members and show up on time. We all get stuck in traffic or have last minute emergencies come up every now and then. We get it. So we’re allowing up to three tardies per calendar year. If you know you are going to be tardy, please notify the host of the event. It’s the courteous thing to do and depending on your standing with the group, the host may be lenient.
Please contact Rina, Yura, Alex or Jhalak to suggest events for other days or times, or to become a co-organizer. If it's any incentive, co-organizers can schedule events at dates and times convenient to them.
Thank you, let’s play tennis! 🎾
