Warmup Courts
Warmup courts will be available on Saturday and Sunday morning at Mason District Park before 8 AM. After that, there are two courts available at Roundtree Park 3411 Casilear Rd, Falls Church, VA 22042 and 4 courts available at Jeb Stuart Highschool 3301 Peace Valley Ln, Falls Church, VA 22044. Both are within 10 minutes of Mason District Park, the first is closer but the second has a greater chance of not being filled with public.
