Singles League

SINGLE LEAGUE FORMAT FOR FIVE MATCHES

We are exploring ideas to provide the opportunity for competitive singles play. At the present time we are hoping to have a league composed of multiple divisions, each division having members of similar skill level. We also hope to have a regular night(s) during the week for players to show up for impromptu singles play and/or drills, and some clinics to improve on our singles skills.
