Ace n' Ale
Ace n' Ale is our newest young adult social league. Designed for any level of player ages 39 and under, this program is ideal for young adults looking to meet other tennis players in the area, just getting back into tennis, or just looking for a fun outdoor activity. Ace n' Ale is set up with one instructor that rotates games and drills on multiple courts, providing an easy, social, and fun environment. After enjoying an hour and a half of fun play, members will head over to partnered local bars to socialize. Registration is $40 for 8 weeks of play at either Tanglewood Park or Hanes Park.
