How it Works
It is a social event aimed toward broadening the members playing and social circle in the club. It is very common for players to arrange social games with their opposition after the event is over. It is also a great vehicle for new members to get to know other members in the club.
The club normally runs two Team Tennis events per calendar year Spring and Autumn. It is an internal club competition normally consisting of 5/6 mixed doubles per team with each pairing graded i.e. best players at level 1 and so forth down through the levels.
