TennisRichmond is connecting Tennis Players on the courts.
How does a Program run?
We run this league format in the following cities: Tennis Richmond, Tennis Orlando & Tennis Seattle.
The program advertises the league dates and builds a queue of trusted players for the program.
Kickoff Day
The kickoff day of the season, players are sent a start announcement that contains league information, the link where your league standings and players contact information. We guarantee 6 playing partners at your playing level, but have been averaging closer to 15+ partners in most locations.
Your Task - “Flexible Scheduling”
After this kickoff email is sent, it is the player’s task to communicate with each other. Players should work with their partners to find an agreeable time and location to play the match. While The program doesn’t mandate your playing schedule, it is recommended that players schedule at least one match per week. By request of the participants, we started to allow players to play 1 rematch per season. The regular season is all about playing as much as you can.
Where to Play?
Play at your local free tennis courts, tennis parks, condo courts or tennis clubs. The league strongly suggests that players jointly try to pick a tennis court location convenient to both. We provide an extensive list of tennis courts, including # of courts, lighting, hitting walls, etc. We strive to keep this list up-to-date.
The league sets up a must play dates to push players out on the courts. The final deadline is the date marking the end of the season, at which point players with 5 wins will qualify for a post-season playoff to determine the league champion.
