2010 Battle of the Bay

2010 BATTLE OF THE BAY!

This exciting event is geared towards engaging players of all levels to compete in a team environment specially designed to help you play your best game possible. It's two teams: San Francisco versus The Rest of the Bay...East Bay, South Bay, North Bay, etc...

We'll play an hour and a half of team-based tennis games run by local pro, Steven Williams. Once you've got your shots dialed in and have bonded with your team, you'll play 2 no-ad sets followed by one last action-packed team game. Each set & game will receive points, whichever team has the most points at the end of the day, wins.

It's really fun and you get a chance to play side-by-side with GLTF'ers that you might not normally be on the same team with, while still playing competitive matches.

There's room for 10 Rest of the Bay players and 10 SF players. It's time to see who really rules the bay!
