We want everybody to play! We can accommodate 56 teams for each Saturday session, more on Sunday. For those who have never experienced tournament play and may even be a little intimidated, there will never be a better opportunity. You'll be playing people you know. people of your age and skill level and on courts that you're familiar with. And we've made the cost very reasonable.
