Player Availability and Schedule Players and their partners submit their availability and a schedule is designed around their team Some teams decide to play as often as possible while some teams decide to only play once in a while. Some teams are available only on Wednesdays, or only on Sundays, or only during specific times—all of that is fine.
Google Doc A Google Doc is shared with all members in the league. This is the primary source of information for player availability, schedule, results, rosters, photos, Bylaws, Handbook, etc. Players must have a Google Account in order to access this document. Tennis Mixers and End of Season Platform Tennis Party and Other Events A few tennis mixers are scheduled during the season where players are paired with various partners against various teams. These are fun events that allow you to play with several other people and get to know others in a friendly environment. An end of season platform tennis party will try to be scheduled in November. In addition, we hope to have a badminton night, pickleball event, and a social bowling event.
