Things to know
We have a limited supply of ice. Please fill up your cooler and water jug before you come each day. Use the cubbies under the lobby tv for your racquet bag so you know exactly where to find it when we call for your match. Two chairs are on each court. Check-in is 15 minutes before each match except for 8am matches who may check in 10 minutes early. We will start giving out the balls and assigning the courts just before 8am so you can start your match at 8. You must have your shoes on and be ready to go on the court when you check-in. Last year we did put some matches on early.
