TEAM PLAYERS
Whether you’re an experienced doubles player or looking to step up into competitive team tennis, we’re always excited to welcome new talent. We’re looking for players who enjoy working as a team, bring energy and commitment, and are happy to mix it up with different partners.
TEAM Selection
Team selections are made with input from our Head Coach and team captains. We hold open sessions each September for players who’d like to be considered. There’ll also be squad practice nights to bring teams together before the season begins.
