Weather Forecast:

We’ll try an earlier time and see if we can secure some courts.

We can have two waves. One at 6:30p and one at 8:00p.

That way you can rotate out for the next group.

Please announce which wave you plan on attending when you RSVP.

First wave not required to rotate out because they might have waited just to get a court.

8 Courts - w/ Lights
Mixed doubles for the most part...
Come on out, all skill levels welcome...

Dallas should have completed it's spraying, but I recommend you still use protection.
