Pick any nice summer night during any day of the week, and odds are you’ll find all sorts of action taking place at the Moose Jaw Tennis Club on the east end of Crescent Park.
With close to 100 members currently signed up with the local organization, folks of all ages can be found at the five-court outdoor facility, taking lessons, playing matches and just in general having a good time getting exercise and plenty of fresh air.
This season marks the first full summer with the brand-new resurfaced courts in play, with the work having been completed last June. The Australian Open-blue surface received rave reviews in the first few months of operation, offering a huge improvement over the old and worn surface.
Members have the option of playing at any time, with special round-robin events taking place every weekday morning to give players a chance to meet other potential playing partners. That’s on top of the league nights and wide range of activities that take place throughout the season, with the MJTC offer no shortage of option for players of every level to enjoy the game.
And if you want to improve your chances of winning, the club has you covered there, too -- lessons are available for youngsters all the way up to adults, giving players an opportunity to learn some tips and tricks and how to play while avoiding injury.
The competitive side of things will see a pair of events this summer, with the Provincial Senior Open July 7-9 and the Club Championships from Aug. 25-27. There are also regular Ladies and Men’s League Nights for those looking for a bit more competition.
The Moose Jaw Tennis Club is also planning on holding free-to-play nights early in the season to give folks a chance to come out and try the game. Be sure to keep an eye on their website and Facebook page for more news on those events,
