Match Play
Match Play includes participants playing match-type games.
Players need to be able to serve, maintain a baseline to baseline rally, and keep score. If your child is able to do ALL three things, encourage them to participate in Match Play. Please contact hilojrtennis@gmail.com if your child is interested.
On scheduled Match Play days, court time will offered to everyone to green dot and yellow ball players who can attend. We will do our best to help match levels of play and have supervision for those hours.
