Introduction

I've been playing tennis for ~20 years and played during both high school and college. Over the years I've been lucky enough to learn from many great coaches and USTA pros. I regularly play in mens singles and doubles leagues in the area.

What is your NTRP playing level (http://tiny.cc/ntrp)? Beginner: 1.5-2.0. Most players: 2.5-3.5. Skilled: 4.0+

On an average typical day I'm a 3.5 level player. When I'm playing my best and have my "A" game going, I might be a 4.0 level player.

What would you like to do in this meetup?

I'm interested in simply meeting new people and am always actively "recruiting" new players to improve my tennis teams.

What do you love about the game?

The strategy of singles and doubles match play. Crushing a forehand winner. Putting away a volley. Hitting a service ace. The fact that you can play this sport for a lifetime.

  • FYI - This small group here: http://www.meetup.com/FUN-TENNIS may be also fun for you if interested in either Apex park or the Middle Creek park (or Holly Springs area). I happen to be part-organizer and frequent in the Apex park.
