JUNIORS – GAME DAY ending with *TTF and *One Point Tournament (each cost $1 to play, winner gets the cash, register online or at the PHTH)!
ADULTS – MIXER!
*TTF (TOUCH THE FENCE) at Coach Steve’s Warm Up
Entry is $1, winner takes the cash! GET IN THE GAME! TTF is a very fast-paced, strategic “doubles” game where each player is in it for themselves! Balls are constantly fed into play after a miss. If at any time a player doesn’t get a racket on a ball, they’re out! When 4 players are left standing, TTF begins – players “touch the fence” during play if they miss a shot. When 2 players are left it’s a drop-shot maker’s dream! It’s one of the junior players’ favorite games. Adults, don’t hesitate to give it a try – all are welcome to play! Coach Steve will run a demonstration. We’ll have multiple courts compete, with playoffs for championship prize(s)!
*One Point Tournament at Coach Steve’s Warm Up
Entry is $1, winner takes the cash! Tennis fans, all ages, all skill levels, can get in on the action! There are no seeded players in this draw, and it’s all or nothing! Random draw; opponents play one point; winner advances to the next round. Champion receives the prize!
10 & Under Play Day Free Day of FUN! Entry form required
