Tennis
The Greenfield Adult Recreation Tennis League is looking for players. Greenfield has natural red clay tennis courts that are city-owned and open to the public. If you are interested in meeting other tennis players or getting involved in the city’s tennis community, the rec. tennis league is a good entry point. The league is scheduled to start on May 18, with a friendly mixer on May 17 at 4 p.m. at the Beacon tennis courts on Sanderson St.
The way the league works is that you get a list of opponents with contact information. You play one match a week. You contact your opponent and set up a mutually agreeable time to play. Matches are best of three sets. The winner reports the score to the league commissioner, who keeps an online record of the league standings.
Depending on the number of players who register, there will be several divisions, based on ability. There will be a “switch” half-way through the season, where the divisions will adjust based on player performance.
The rec. tennis league is a singles league – the Greenfield Tennis Association runs a doubles league. For information on the Greenfield Tennis Association and its events, see the website (https://greenfieldtennis.blogspot.com/). The league is $30 for Greenfield residents and $40 for non-residents.
If you are interested in signing up to play in the league, contact league commissioner Andrew Varnon at andrew.varnon@gmail.com. You can also get information on how to register at the Greenfield Recreation website (https://www.greenfieldrecreation.com/).
