Club Interchanges

All skill levels are invited to share the wonderful social tennis experience with your club members. Players from both clubs are mixed and matched over four rounds of doubles play (mixed & men’s/ladies’) so that you are not playing with the same person all day.  Meeting new players in a nice social atmosphere plus great food & drink has proven to be a successful formula for this club activity.
