Weekly Updates for 10/17-10/18

Saturday Leagues continue match play. A few notes on match play below.

Sunday Leagues are on track, but a few more makeups for SWCC.

Match Play means a different format.  For those that haven’t been with us, we try to have matches for each age division that’s appropriate for each age and ability.  For the Red Ball Division, they play on a smaller court and have to keep the ball in play.  We generally don’t do serves, but we will allow it if they are able to do it.  They play first to 7 points for a game.  For the Orange Ball division, they use the modified baseline which is halfway between the service line and the full court baseline.  We also do not use the doubles alleys.  Those players play first to win 4 games. Finally for the Green Ball Division, we use the full court and play first to win 4 OR 6 games. We try to get everybody on court for a match but sometimes there isn’t enough space, so we will have a practice area where they can work on shots in the meantime.  For a brief intro on what we do, you can watch a short video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmTmSpG0-98
