More about the Socials

All the Socials are intended to help you meet new people, or socialize with others you already know, while you enjoy playing.

Family Red Ball Tennis

We also have Adult Red Ball Tennis to help new players start, or for advanced beginners to enhance topspin and other skills, during match play.

– Family Red Ball Tennis is intended to allow parents and kids to play together, although it can be just kids or just adults playing. It is a laid back play time and our coaches will help you learn how to play with your young kids.
– Usually we also bring one of our kids’ favorite obstacle courses that we use for movement training.  Frequently kids play on the obstacle course while their parent are playing red ball tennis.
– This is the international standard red ball tennis scaled courts, racquets, and balls – all provided.


Adult Triples

Triples is a Cardio Tennis game originally.

– Adult Triples socials need a minimum of 6 players and ideally at least 8 or 9 players.
– Teams of 3 players compete with a coach-fed rhythm and rotation that can be more or less of a cardio workout.
– With 3 teams we play a Champion of the Court format, and may use Cardio Tennis balls.
– No matter how many players we have we will switch up the teams.
– Plenty of time for water breaks, this game is so fun you won’t want to stop


Green Ball Lightning Matches

– Green balls allow for players of different levels to play together on a full-sized court.
– This is competitive play, but not too competitive.  It is a social.
– Lightning matches are short competitive play matches allowing many players to play many other players.
– The matches and the match-ups will be adjusted based on the participation.
– Get to know more players to play with.
