Hello T4A members!
Please save the date, 9/12/20 for the Tennis4All fall member event which will be held on the outdoor clay courts of the Northeast Tennis Center in Middleton. Details and registration will be forthcoming.
This will be a free event to connect and play with members outdoors. We will be observing social distancing guidelines on the 6 available courts. Since it will be a limited capacity, we will have 2 sessions from 11:30-1:30 pm and 2-4 pm. There will be a max capacity of 24 players per session.
Registration for the event will be open this weekend. We look forward to seeing you on the courts.

Interested in the 2020-21 Tennis4All Board???
Tennis4All Members:
It’s that time of the year again! Please let us know if you are interested in joining the Tennis4All Board.
It was a challenging year due to the pandemic, so we are looking to re-energize our group to improve our core activities while finding new ways to connect with the LGBT+ tennis community. We can only do this with the support and guidance of our volunteer board members.
Do YOU have thoughts on how to make Tennis4All more fun and offer great events?? Well, then put your name in the hat and join the board 😊 The board members are chiefly responsible for planning and managing the various year-round activities (i.e., singles league, doubles league, ladders, socials, team tennis, BTC tournament, etc.) and setting goals on how to improve the organization for years to come.
