7:30 PM - 9:30 PM	Tennis: Mixed Doubles - Tennis Doubles: Player Summer 2025 Session I We welcome all men’s, women’s, mixed, and youth tennis doubles teams and individuals. If you do not have a partner, we will assign one who is similar to your level. View Player Standings for Summer 2025 Session I This league is for all levels, from beginners to advanced, who want to enjoy tennis and meet new people in our community. During the first week, we will run a round-robin tournament (short set games) to get a chance to meet everyone in the program and to determine your seed in the ladder. The seeding will determine which court you will start the following week. The top four seeds will start on court 1, the next four seeds will start on court 2 and so on. When the first match is over, the winning team from court 2 will move up to court 1 and the loosing team from court 1 will move down to court 2 and likely with the other courts. In addition, each team will do rock-paper-scissors to split from your partner and form a new team for the next match. This will allow you to play teams randomly as you move up or down the court. You will play 4 matches (short set games) every week and the game scores will reflect the points earned for each match. For example, if the final score was 4:2, the winning team earns 4 points and the loosing team earns 2 points. Points for every match will be recorded, and the cumulative points will decide the seeding for the following week. If you miss a week, your team will get 0 points; please try to secure a sub from the sub list to avoid this! The seeding in the ladder and the cumulative points will be posted each week.RulesShort set games: First team to win 4 games, tie breaker at 3 all (first team to get 5 points with no deuce) Substitution rules: Must be registered online before the session starts and can only play if a team needs a partner due to absence.

If you do not have a partner, we will assign one who is similar to your level. View Player Standings for Summer 2025 Session I This league is for all levels, from beginners to advanced, who want to enjoy tennis and meet new people in our community. During the first week, we will run a round-robin tournament (short set games) to get a chance to meet everyone in the program and to determine your seed in the ladder. The seeding will determine which court you will start the following week. The top four seeds will start on court 1, the next four seeds will start on court 2 and so on. When the first match is over, the winning team from court 2 will move up to court 1 and the loosing team from court 1 will move down to court 2 and likely with the other courts. In addition, each team will do rock-paper-scissors to split from your partner and form a new team for the next match. This will allow you to play teams randomly as you move up or down the court. You will play 4 matches (short set games) every week and the game scores will reflect the points earned for each match. For example, if the final score was 4:2, the winning team earns 4 points and the loosing team earns 2 points. Points for every match will be recorded, and the cumulative points will decide the seeding for the following week. If you miss a week, your team will get 0 points; please try to secure a sub from the sub list to avoid this! The seeding in the ladder and the cumulative points will be posted each week.RulesShort set games: First team to win 4 games, tie breaker at 3 all (first team to get 5 points with no deuce) Substitution rules: Must be registered online before the session starts and can only play if a team needs a partner due to absence.

7:30 PM - 9:30 PM	Tennis: Mixed Doubles - Tennis Doubles: Player Summer 2025 Session I We welcome all men’s, women’s, mixed, and youth tennis doubles teams and individuals. If you do not have a partner, we will assign one who is similar to your level. View Player Standings for Summer 2025 Session I This league is for all levels, from beginners to advanced, who want to enjoy tennis and meet new people in our community. During the first week, we will run a round-robin tournament (short set games) to get a chance to meet everyone in the program and to determine your seed in the ladder. The seeding will determine which court you will start the following week. The top four seeds will start on court 1, the next four seeds will start on court 2 and so on. When the first match is over, the winning team from court 2 will move up to court 1 and the loosing team from court 1 will move down to court 2 and likely with the other courts. In addition, each team will do rock-paper-scissors to split from your partner and form a new team for the next match. This will allow you to play teams randomly as you move up or down the court. You will play 4 matches (short set games) every week and the game scores will reflect the points earned for each match. For example, if the final score was 4:2, the winning team earns 4 points and the loosing team earns 2 points. Points for every match will be recorded, and the cumulative points will decide the seeding for the following week. If you miss a week, your team will get 0 points; please try to secure a sub from the sub list to avoid this! The seeding in the ladder and the cumulative points will be posted each week.RulesShort set games: First team to win 4 games, tie breaker at 3 all (first team to get 5 points with no deuce) Substitution rules: Must be registered online before the session starts and can only play if a team needs a partner due to absence.

7:30 PM - 9:30 PM	Tennis: Mixed Doubles - Tennis Doubles: Player Summer 2025 Session I We welcome all men’s, women’s, mixed, and youth tennis doubles teams and individuals. If you do not have a partner, we will assign one who is similar to your level. View Player Standings for Summer 2025 Session I This league is for all levels, from beginners to advanced, who want to enjoy tennis and meet new people in our community. During the first week, we will run a round-robin tournament (short set games) to get a chance to meet everyone in the program and to determine your seed in the ladder. The seeding will determine which court you will start the following week. The top four seeds will start on court 1, the next four seeds will start on court 2 and so on. When the first match is over, the winning team from court 2 will move up to court 1 and the loosing team from court 1 will move down to court 2 and likely with the other courts. In addition, each team will do rock-paper-scissors to split from your partner and form a new team for the next match. This will allow you to play teams randomly as you move up or down the court. You will play 4 matches (short set games) every week and the game scores will reflect the points earned for each match. For example, if the final score was 4:2, the winning team earns 4 points and the loosing team earns 2 points. Points for every match will be recorded, and the cumulative points will decide the seeding for the following week.
