Saturday morning tennis is coordinated by Karen Davis. It is usually three sets played between 10:00 am and noon. Most games are doubles with the occasional singles when required. Occasionally, if the number of players require it, extra sets are played between 8:00 and 10:00. All the games are pre-planned, with the intention of creating balanced play.
