Welcome to ORPS Tennis!
A great place to see old friends and meet new ones. Come on out and join the fun.
Drop In Tennis has already started. On Monday and Wednesday at 08:00, come play Drop In Tennis. Just show up at La Palma for a draw. Depending on turn out, the men play against men, and the women against women. We draw cards to see who you play with. After 8 games are completed, partners are switched, and you play another 8 games. It's a great way to meet other tennis players, and play some fun and competitive tennis.
Wednesday Drop In Tennis
If you’re looking for a little less competitive tennis, we have E-Z Drop In Tennis on Tue. and Thur. at 10:00. While I said, “less competitive”, you’ll see some of the same level players on T.&TH as M.&W., as they prefer the later start time. The format is the same.
On Friday at 08:00, we play Mixed Doubles. Men and women are paired from a draw. Then the format is the same as Drop In Tennis. We had a great group of 20 players that played on 11/3.

Once a month the Tennis Committee puts on Fritters and Fun. This month it was on Monday, November 5th. We played a challenging game of Triples. There were 40 players, and with both sides rotating after every point, the game moves quickly. Following the fun, we have fritters and mimosas or coffee in La Palma. The Tennis Committee then conducts their monthly general meeting. The December Fritters and Fun will be held on December 2nd, with sign up in La Palma from 08:00 to 08:30.

Once a month we have a mixer. On Saturday November 18, we will have a Wimbledon themed mixer, complete with Lunch on the Lawn.

Be sure to get in on the fun in November, as due to the holidays, the next Mixer is in January. Sign ups close on November 15th.
Fun Fact: In 1986, Wimbledon introduced the first yellow tennis ball. Prior to that, tennis balls were white.
The long talked about Shade Structure at La Palma will begin construction by 11/10. It's expected to be completed within a couple weeks. It will be a great place to gather after tennis.
