    Come enjoy the best of both worlds – social and competitive – in Winter World Team Tennis!

    WTT is a form of team tennis invented by Billie Jean King.  The modified playing and scoring format make for fun, fast games that allows teams to “sub” in a player, where ‘let’ serves are played, and your team can be as as LOUD as can be! Cheering, music, screams, cat-calls, whatever you want!!  TOTAL FUN!!   Four teams of six people will play three rounds over three Saturdays.  Teams are co-ed and all levels are welcome.  Players will be assigned to teams to ensure that each team has a good mix for maximum fun!  Final format is contingent on registrants. Delicious, light lunches will be provided on all 3 days. 

    REGISTRATION: The registration deadline is Tuesday, Jan 31st but sign up soon as space can fill up fast.  Cost is $40 per person for 3 fun-filled days of tennis!

    WHEN:  3 consecutive Saturdays - Feb 4, 11 & 18 - starting at 10am

    WHERE:  SF State Tennis Courts  

    Deadline to register is Jan 31st

    NOTE:  Should the event fill up, you can sign up a substitute.  Just email Marissa or Don below to reserve a spot. If you are called to play, the cost is $10 per weekend with payment due on the day of play. There is no guarantee that subs will be needed but space fills up quickly.  So hurry and sign up now to reserve your spot!
