Weekly Social Tennis

Wednesday Afternoon Tennis

Wednesday Afternoon Tennis is coordinated by Yvonne Cottam. There are two groups playing three sets each. The earlier group plays between 2:00pm and 4:00pm and the later between 4:00pm and 6:00pm. Most games are doubles with the occasional singles when required. All the games are pre-planned, with the intention of creating balanced play.
