Although we do not make practices mandatory, we strongly encourage everyone to come to practice as often as possible for many reasons. You are paying money to be on the team so you should hopefully be trying to get your money's worth. Also, if you are wanting to travel to tournaments with the team you should be coming to practice so you don't get rusty. We also have socials almost every week, also not mandatory, but a great way to get to know other members on the team!

What is the format of play for Club tennis?
The format of match play is World Team Tennis rules; we play men's and women's doubles, men's and women's singles, and a mixed doubles match. Only one set to 6 is played, with a 5-point tiebreaker (win by 1) at 5-5. We also do not play deuce, only a deciding point. We switch sides every four games.
