Details of Events

Indoor Tennis Sundays at Cedar Hill Rec Centre

Sunday indoor tennis starts early October and continues through March. Please go to our Members Area and sign up for Indoor play. We have 3 courts from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. from October to December.  We also have three courts booked from January through March - time is yet to be confirmed. Cost is $15.00 per person per session. To ensure that all members have an opportunity to play, bookings may only be made starting on the Monday before the Sunday you wish to play. If there are already twelve people on the sign-up, you should put your name on the wait list, as someone may have to drop out and a late replacement may be needed. So sign up early if you want to assure yourself a place to play.

Courtesy Notes: If you have booked in but are unable to play, please find a replacement and notify the Games Director ASAP. Otherwise, three people are left stranded without a fourth. NOTE: No-shows are obliged to pay the $15.00 fee. Please show up at least 10 minutes early to allow ample time to pay the contact person and get ready for your opening set. Please bring the correct change with you.

Format: The draws are made up ahead of time and posted. You play three sets of tennis, with and against different partners each time. You are allowed a 10-minute warm-up in the first set. Each subsequent set is 40 minutes long: the changeover times are indicated on the draw sheets. You can play the “first one in” for serve in the first set only. Deuces are played out. Balls are provided.

Outdoors Tennis - April through September

The Club has 3 courts reserved from April through September; on Sundays from 10:00 a.m. to Noon at Oaklands Park on King's Street off Shelbourne Ave.

Members sign up in advance for outdoor play. All matches are doubles, unless fewer than eight players have signed up. Each match is approximately 40 minutes, then players change and play with a different partner. Balls are provided for Sunday summer play.
