Contract Court Time
A weekly set match is a common thing for many people involved in the sport of tennis. As a courtesy to our members we contract a set of time on a given indoor air-conditioned/heated court. During the year there are two blocks of time available for contracting a tennis court. The FALL SESSION is a 13-week session that runs from mid-September to the end of December. The SPRING SESSION is a 13-week session that runs from the beginning of January to the end of April. Times are available any day of the week. The only cost involved is the cost of the court time. As a bonus, Contracts are charged $2.00/hour less than regular walk-up courts! Having a Contract Court makes it much easier for tennis players to keep up their regular games without having to worry about calling each week to book their favorite courts. We take care of the courts for you. To check Contract Availability please contact the tennis office.
USTA League & Team Tennis
Each year The Racquet Club has numerous teams participating in USTA League Tennis. Not only are there matches, but during the USTA League Season, the clinics here at our Club are organized around the teams in order to ensure every team receives the best practice sessions possible. The Racquet Club consistently has teams participating in Mixed and Doubles Combo leagues as well. The atmosphere at The Club during the USTA League Tennis and USTA Team Tennis Season truly is full of the competitive spirit of so many of our teams!
