News And Annoucements
We continue this weekend at all 7 of our sites. We are starting match play at all but 1 of our sites (West Chester start next week). 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 10 and under 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. 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. The Green Ball Division uses the full court with serving and first to 4 or 6 game sets. For a brief intro on what we do, you can watch a short video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmTmSpG0-98 . See below for updates on each league.
