Calendar
Hot Courts (ongoing)
Date: Every Thursday Evening
Time: 6:30-9:30 pm (drop in/out as you desire)
Location: Montclair Courts, Oakland (Mountain at Colton)
Cost: $2 court-maintenance/improvement donation requested
Organizers: Hans Boerner and Jeffrey Gomez
Hot Courts happen every Thursday evening, year-round. Simply stop by anytime between 6:30 pm and 9:30 pm (no partner needed) for some casual and fun doubles tennis.
The exact format varies, but generally consists of four no-ad games followed by a tiebreaker, after which those who had a bye on the previous round are brought in, partners and opponents are switched up, and play begins again.
The cost is only a 2-buck donation per evening, all of which goes to help defray the costs of court maintenance and repair (nets, windscreens, etc.).
Upcoming Events
MTA Team Tennis
Date: Saturday October 14th
Time: 10:00 am to 1:00 pm
Location: Montclair Tennis Courts
Cost: $12 Tennis
Organizer: Kevin Stewart
This event will include a little of everything - a little doubles, a little singles, and a lot fun! Players will be divided into two teams. They'll get to choose their own team names, and then compete against each other in a wild-and-crazy format of both singles and doubles play. During registration, you'll be given a chance to indicate if you'd like to play singles, doubles, or both - it's totally up to you! For fun and for something different, we'll be (very) loosely following the World Team Tennis format, which includes player substitutions, playing let serves, coaching, and lots of cheering and noise! Potluck snacks for fun!
Open to players of all ages, genders, and levels (even beginners - we'll help you with scoring, play, court placement, etc. - we're a friendly bunch!)
Bring a yummy snack to share with your team and the other team!
MTA membership is NOT required - everyone welcomed!
COVID protocols: full vaccination required; masks optional

Turkey Tournament

Celebrate the turning of the season with some fun, casual, doubles tennis! We'll share details on the format once we see how many folks will be participating. And just for fun, there may be a couple of small twists involved! The winning player gets to choose an MTA-themed prize (e.g., wine glass, performance cap, water bottle, etc.) PLUS they will get to be the caretaker of the coveted turkey trophy for the coming year! (don't worry, it's small) Potluck lunch following tennis - please bring something yummy to share, and if it's Fall/Thanksgiving-themed, even better!
