[Zürich] Tennis on Saturdays
Calendar: Social Events
 
26.04.2008 16:00 to 18:00
*The times shown may change, depending on DST settings
City/Town: Zürich
Event Type: Sports
Meeting Point: Tennisanlage Mythenquai

Want to hit some balls, meet some tennis partners, have a great sporting time during this summer ? Don't want to wait half an hour to play for 12 minutes ?

We'll be having a regular tennis meeting on Saturdays from 16h-18h, please sign up so we can know how many courts we need to reserve

Location :

Tennis Anlage Mythenquai
Mythenquai 200
8002 Zürich

Location Map

It is in front of the Mythenquai "beach"

Tram 7 stop "Brunaustrasse", then go down direction to the lake
Bus 161 / 165 stop "Landiwiese", it is just in front.

The goal again is to get together and so find suitable partners for regularly play during the April-October season.

Those are clay courts so this will be the joy of all us dirtballers, prepare to get some dust on

Finally the spring is here and this weekend the weather forecast looks bright so far

Samstag

/18°

Please sign up so I can know how many courts I have to reserve.

Costs will be 20 Fr. per court so we'd have to pay 5 Fr. / each when playing 4 per court.

If you are interested on a hitting session with a coach, as a collective lesson that can help you improve, this could be arranged. Please post your intentions to participate on a coached session here and if there is enough numbers we'll do it, in that case the cost would be 20/hour for each participant ( 4 people minimum ) including court cost/coach fee.

Hello yorkshire lad.

Come ready to play.

I bring with me many rackets to lend so It'd be no problem for you to play,

The rackets I bring to lend are 95 sq.inches and on the ligher side ( 10 oz = 290 gr. ) Grip size Nr. 3

Last update

the weather is very umpredictable in April but looks still sunny and warm enough for Saturday

Samstag

/18°

In the past meetings I was pesimistic but was positively surprised, so this weekend I am being optimistic.

I reserved then 2 places from 16h-17h ( 1 hour ) and one of this places 2 hours ( until 18h ) .

So I expect 8 of us could be doing doubles in 2 courts and maybe some of you will stay and play for another hour.

See you all there.

@tabby, come ready to play I am bringing rackets to lend and the shop there also rent if you wish

Re: [Zürich] Tennis on Saturdays

Hi,

I would love to join you guys. It's 4:30 on Saturday now, and I just found out about it. Would love to join next Saturday. Also would be interested in lessons as well. I used to be an advanced beginner, but I think I'm really rusty.

Looking forward to playing,
Susan

Re: [Zürich] Tennis on Saturdays

Today we had a great time, the 5 of us who showed up.

Thank you all for participating.

For next week, we hope it will also be sunny, even if the forecast says rain util Thursday.

I'll organise 2 meetings

1 for the ones that want to come and just play

1 for the ones who would like to have lessons/coaching. If there is at least 2 then you could have one hour for 40 CHF including the court, or if you are 4 you could have one hour for 20 CHF including the court.

The more of you who participate the better for all us and the lower the costs.
