Dinner is TBD on the day of, by those interested.We have all 6 courts through the summer.
1 - 2 for Beginners & Beginner-intermediates / 4 - 5 for Intermediates and advanced players
It's always a good idea to warm up before you start play.I am asking $5 per player contribution but no-one is turned away for lack of funds. I reserve the courts a month ahead of time so your contribution is needed and appreciated to keep the Meetup afloat and the courts reserved. I need at least 20 players to come out and play to keep the cost per player reasonable.
Venmo handle is @LindaEMoran last 4 confirming digits are 1344.We can shift the court as needed to accommodate the skill level of players who are present.
