Default (SMC) Got Tennis!?!?

Where can a person go to play tennis? I was in the learning stages about 2 years ago and quit for a while and now wanting to start learning again. Does anyone here play? Everyone I know can't be talked into playing. :seeya

...interesting...

But I don't know. The closest thing I know of is the raquetball courts around. I don't know about tennis courts...

Thinking about getting a tournament going?

Well I'm not good enough to play in a tournament, but I wouldn't mind going to watch one and maybe hook up with someone! Maybe we can call a tennis and cruise and learn all together! :lol:

Check your local high school. Ours in Kingston has a couple courts that everyone is able to use. First come, first served basis.

Don't listen to her! I have repeatedly tried to get her to play tennis. I even bought her a racket but to no avail. I will play against anyone as long as they play as bad as I do.

Steve-

Call Knoxville Parks & Recreation and ask for the number of Tyson Park or maybe they can connect you. They teach as well as have tournaments for all levels.........and I'll play most anytime you want. I've been looking myself for someone who plays.

Hey lets set something up. I have not played for years but would love to do it again. It sounds like we can get a couple of people together. As to the "OLD" farts comment that was mentioned above, when I get back from my four night Bonarroo concert this weekend I will show you who is old. Of course you better give me a few days recuperation time first. :D

I am off on Firdays and the weekend so maybe we can do something around June 20th or 21st. Anybody in?

Wade, sounds good. I don't know your schedule, but I get off work through the week at 5 and am off most every weekend. I could meet you after work any day after 5. Let me know what you think and I can really show you awful tennis! :lol:

Hey guys, set a time. Jon was talking about Cedar Bluff Racquet Club on Fox Lonas. If we play at Westside YMCA you don't have to reserve courts and it's FREE. It's off Kingston Pike on Winston Road. It's the road just before TOYS-R-US on the right and just up from HOOTER'S!! If you need better directions let me know. Friday evening is good for me, but if you set it up for Sat. or Sunday let me know and I'll try to make it. HONDA HOOT is in town 18-21 and I have to shoot a lot of it. Got another assignment on the 22nd but could probably play in the late afternoon or evening.

SUH-WIIIIIING!!!!!!

SCHEDULE? What's that? :lolg: Really, I have no set schedule, but evenings are good for me....usually. Like I said, Westside YMCA is a great palce to play and usually not too crowded.....plus it's lighted for night play. Do you work in Knoxville?
