Palo Alto Tennis Meetup: Unleash Your Skills and Network!🎾
Where: Rinconada Tennis courts, Palo alto
🕕 Feel free to arrive earlier around *4pm and can help secure court if you can get off work earlier - send a note to the group so others know to show earlier to rally with you.
We're excited about your interest in our tennis meetup! Our sessions are currently designed for players at USTA 3.5 level or above to ensure competitive and enjoyable matches for everyone involved.
If you're working towards this level, we'd love to support your tennis journey! We can recommend excellent local coaches who can help you develop your game and reach the 3.5 benchmark. Many of our current members have taken this path, and we look forward to having you join our sessions once you've reached this level. Feel free to reach out for coaching recommendations – we're here to help you grow your game!
Strong 3.0 players who are actively working on their game may occasionally join our group, especially if they're willing to contribute to our community through securing court arrangements and group organization. We evaluate these situations on a case-by-case basis.
Rules and Guidelines:
Please greet the host and open to hit with the host for 10-15 min so we get to know you and can best pair you up. It is also a great way to mingle, show friendliness and healthy interactions.
We typically assign players of similar levels to the same court for rallies and games. Higher level players might be expected to spend around 20 min to hit with lower player players. It is our philosophy to promote an inclusive community; by playing with everyone, we build a supportive environment where every player matters and thrives together.
Respect the host's assignment of the court you will play
