Court Etiquette

Just a reminder, our parties provide a fun and relaxing atmosphere, where players can have friendly competition. We simply ask attendees to follow these guidelines:

1. Introduce yourself to the new players on the court. This will make for a more wholesome experience.

2. Be cordial to your partners and opponents.

3. Refrain from giving instructions to anyone on the court unless they request them.

4. Do not gun for the person at the net with fast and hard hitting especially in mixed doubles.

5. Kindly pick up the balls for the server. It saves time and is just good etiquette.

6. When you leave the court, please find the 3 balls you played with and leave them for the next group of players.

7. Do not call a ball out when you or your partner are unsure about a line call. It is unsportsmanlike and can stir unpleasant reactions.
Check USTA or other tennis websites for the official rules.

8. If you are scheduled to play the next hour, do not take more than a 10-minute break. There are players who play only 2 hours and could use the complete playtime.

Three players from Cliffside Park, Jersey City and Mahwah who often played with each other in the past but hadn’t in a few months on the same day decided they would gather tonight. The Jersey city regular introduced a tennis classmate from NYC to our group. They all had fun…

Friday night parties are still going strong this summer and in fact are more popular than they’ve ever been in the past 5 summers. It seems the young and older players blend in quite well with each other. Whether it’s the people, the atmosphere or it’s TGIF mentality – it sure works well…

LAST WEEK’S RECAP | June 5 – June 10, 2012

What a nice surprise to see 2 friends from Yonkers that I rarely see during the winter season. One is captain of about 20 teams and the other is another fierce competitor on court with a smile, kind of like FDR “Speak softly but carry a big stick.” It was so much fun on their court that a regular from Fort Lee, aka Ice Cream Man…

LAST WEEK’S RECAP | May 29 – June 3, 2012

There was so much going on at the parties last week that I hardly had time to record the events, although a couple of things stood out. A newcomer from Livingston is the first mortician I’ve ever met! Contrary to this death-related profession, she is a very social and outgoing person. For being a newcomer she mingled, joked, laughed, smiled and enjoyed the whole evening.
