    Junior Tennis Ladder — open to club members only

    Players start in a ‘box’ with other players at their level. All players have one month to organize a game with each of the other players in their box. By the end of the first month, highest-scoring players move to a higher-level box, lowest-scoring to a lower-level box, and middle-scoring stay in their box. Over the course of the summer, participants will get a chance to play with a variety of players and meet new people. The number of games you would play depends on the number of people who sign up, but averages one or two per week.
    • Dates: Monthly starting June 1, 2023
    • Location:  Tower St. and/or Sportsplex Courts
    • Cost:  Free with membership
