Registration for Women’s Tennis Leagues Begins
Sign ups for the 2012-2013 Community Park Tennis Center weekday women’s tennis leagues are underway. All players wishing to join can pick up and fill out an application at the Community Park Clubhouse; or download an application at www.gardencityrecreation.org.
Current players have the first choice to rejoin their league and must be signed up for next season by Friday, April 27. After this date openings will be filled on a first-come, first- served basis by qualified players. If you do not come in first or second in your current group and you wish to move up, you may tryout for the group. If the pro ranks you at that level and there are openings, you can move to the next level. So get your application in as soon as possible.
All new players must attend a try-out (to be rated) with one of the pros before they can play in the league. You do not have to tryout for learn and play league.
