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 yo 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.

Since this is a 8pm – 1 AM event, do people typically grab food and have dinner during a break?” I can tell you that he was nicely surprised to see ample food and refreshments but more importantly, he told me he really enjoyed the tennis. Nothing makes me happier to hear that!

LAST WEEK’S RECAP | November 4 – 10, 2013

Someone asked me where did all these players come from? They’re die-hards, who need their tennis fix or they end up climbing walls! It’s safe for me to say that I don’t need to recruit players, rather players look to play. It’s just something about tennis players that only tennis players know. Maybe it’s true with other sports…

LAST WEEK’S RECAP | October 28 – Nov 3, 2013

Friday players started a trend, making their own buttons to represent themselves, e.g., Angry Bird, a Yankee, Skull and Cross Bones, etc. A player from Montclair arrived tonight with a button for herself, a Sunflower, and a button for her son, a transformer, I forget the name though. They were quite catchy, as other partygoers examined the buttons…
