All levels of play are welcome during the open play sessions.   Lower level players are encouraged to start on tennis court number 1 and advanced players are encouraged to start play on tennis court number 4.

Players can self rate and play where they are most comfortable.  This is open play, so the levels of play will be mixed.

Rotation System

Players will choose the court they would like to play on and place their paddle in that court's paddle bin.  After each game, winners can stay and play with the same partner or they may decide to split with their partner and play with new players entering court.   Losing team  will leave the court and put their paddle back into the paddle bin.  Players next in line and waiting to play will rotate onto the next available court at games are completed.  Players must rotate off the court after 3 consecutive wins.  Players can play on any court they would like and rotate accordingly.
