Vermont Tennis

Welcome to Vermont’s one and only pick-up tennis Meetup group! All levels and abilities are welcome.

For our Meetup events, we typically play at public courts in the Burlington, Montpelier, and Waterbury areas. What each event looks like depends on the number and makeup of those attending, usually starting with practice rallies and evolving into singles and/or doubles games, often rotating partners as we go. If you’re looking for a low-pressure place to practice, play, and meet like-minded tennis enthusiasts, join us! We also encourage building connections with others so you can set up playing times at locations most convenient for you, and we occasionally grab a drink or dinner after meeting as well.

In terms of scheduling, past years have found us setting up events fairly regularly in Burlington on Sunday afternoons and in Montpelier or Waterbury on Wednesday or Thursday evenings, but we’re open to anything that works for people. Weather can often foil our plans, so we sometimes wait to schedule an event until we have a better sense of clear skies. On that note, we also sometimes cancel last minute due to weather or air quality conditions, so we will try to post cancellations at least a few hours prior to the start of the event.

If you plan on attending an event, please RSVP accordingly so everyone knows how many players are expected. If no one besides the organizer signs up, the event will likely be canceled. We don’t want people driving to the courts to find no one there.

Those who manage and organize this group incur some monthly expenses (Meetup.com costs, tennis balls) that we could use some help with, so please consider a small donation occasionally or when you play if you can. The event organizers will collect this, and any extra funds left over at the end of the year will go towards a group gathering.

If you have any questions, please reach out to one of the organizers.
Thanks for your interest, and we’ll see you on the courts! 😄🎾
