If two courts are available first two players should grab those courts. Third and rest of the players should wait outside the door for another court. Once, 3 courts are occupied incoming players are distributed evenly across secured courts. * Please don't start playing doubles/singles without securing courts first. Please take your time to divide players into courts (with assistance of the hosts) after enough courts are secured. Till then it’s good idea to keep rallying / warming up / stretch. * Max players# 12, with 4 players on each court (no rotation).

Hi everyone! 🎾 I’m leaving until August, but I see that many of you genuinely enjoy getting together and playing tennis on Saturdays — and I would really love for this little tradition to continue even while I’m away 😊 So don’t lose this opportunity just because I’m gone. Meet at the stands around 10 AM — usually by then the players who started at 9 are already finishing, and you can take the first available court. If there are two of you — play singles. If more people come — play doubles or rotate and mix teams. Please bring a can of balls, good energy, and your sporty spirit 🎾☀️ Wishing everyone great games, lots of movement, laughter, and a wonderful mood!
