The “soft” courts feature top-quality synthetic turf. This soft, comfortable surface plays uniformly, drains quickly, and doesn’t overheat.
FUN CARDIO TENNIS
Live Ball
3.5+ Saturdays 10 AM-Noon
2.5-3.0 Sundays 1:30-3:30 PM
Want to workout in a FUN way, while improving your game?
Live Ball is a doubles points game - fast-paced, fun, enthusiastic and competitive, yet social - to help sharpen up your doubles play. It's a great way to get in your cardio workout too! You'll play with a lot of different partners.
It's fast-paced because there's no serving... 'feeders' put the ball in play. You and your partner (for that round) are the ‘Challengers’ - challenging the current ‘Champions' on the other side of the court. If you win 4 points before before they win 2, you run to their side of the court and become the Champions. If you lose, you rotate one position, either off the court to get back in line, or to the ad side while a new partner rotates in to the deuce side to join you. You’d better hurry... that next feed is coming soon!
