We’re still working to get more people into these Meetups, but our goal is to give PlayYourCourt members a few social tennis outings each week in addition to your practice sessions and Challenge League matches. These Meetups are co-ed, super laid back, and all skill levels are welcome. Post your skill level and a suggested court in the comments section so we can round up as many players as we can for some tennis fun! Also, if you’re looking to meet new practice partners or play some matches and you aren’t already in the PlayYourCourt Community, you can go here to see what we’re all about and sign up: https://www.playyourcourt.com/tennis-community/alexandria-va/meetup/ If you love tennis, we’d love to have you! Be sure and watch the quick video that explains how everything works. Happy hitting! - Scott

Hello piano players: Our next meeting will be at Bret Empie's apartment on Saturday, May 30, 2026 from 1:00 pm to 5 pm. Thank you for hosting, Bret! Bret lives in Westlake Towers: 7420 Westlake Ter Apt 204 Bethesda MD. It's a 16-floor tan brick building. It is not the dark red brick building across the street. Visitors don't need a parking pass. Be careful not to go to a smaller 4-story building called West Spring, whose address is, confusingly, 7420 Lakeview Drive. At both building entrances, there is a call box. Use the A-Z buttons to scroll to "Empie, Malcolm" and press the CALL button. Bret will buzz you in. Malcolm Empie is Bret’s official name. Ride-On Bus 47 comes close to Westlake Towers. Other buses stop at the Montgomery Mall Transit Center, 0.6 mile away. Bret's piano is a beautiful 1913 Steinway A, fully renovated inside and out. It is a treat to play. Bret has a hall closet for coats. When you come in, please remove your shoes. Bret hopes to see you there.
