COMMON QUESTIONS
We welcome and highly encourage beginners! Beginner’s lessons are available for all ages, ranging from 55 to nearly 90. This exemplifies the variation in talents, and new people are continually bringing fresh talent enthusiasm.
Even those with no interest in playing tennis or physical capabilities to play can become a social member. This allows participation in all Club activities except leadership roles.
There are 6 proficiency levels: 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, and 4.0. All teams at each level have a Captain that arranges the weekly competition with other resorts. Be assured, every level, including the lowest, has its joy and satisfaction, although because of the number of players on each team at each level, there is no guarantee that you will play league every week. Captains try to play as many people as possible each week, but it depends upon how many teams the opposition sends too.
Yes! Aside from the many privately arranged games within Roadhaven, there are organized competitive team matches and tournaments with other park teams as part of the East Valley Senior Tennis League (EVSTL). Each league team has its own Captain. League play includes one match and one practice session every week.
