New to Naples / Ft Myers area, looking to hit around. I'm 3.5

Hi,

My name is Paul and I recently moved to Bonita Springs from Minneapolis. I am looking to hit around with roughly 3.5 players. Singles, doubles, rally, whatever works. If you want to hit sometime, reply to this message, email me at paulschenck@gmail.com or text/call at 952-406-2328. I am free weekends and weeknights after 5:30pm.

I played last winter in Minneapolis indoors in a mens 3.5 singles league. In the summer I played with a few other 3.5s in singles matches for fun through a site called tennistour.org. I am a member of the USTA and formally ranked at 3.5, although I have not participated in any USTA events.

Thanks!

Paul

Paul,
we're trying to get a game of doubles together for tomorrow down in Fiddler's Creek (951 & 41).
I realize that's a bit of a drive from Bonita, but maybe you're interested?

Not sure what time exactly.

We also DO play weekdays after guys get off work---played last Tuesday at 6:30.

Hi Bruce, I won't be able to make it to Fidler's Creek today. I work in Ft Myers weekdays until 5pm except for Wednesdays when I am in North Naples.

Do you play at the same place on weekdays after work?

Paul, one of the guys is renting in Fiddler's until mid-June, so we play there whenever we can.
Personally, I like the clay courts there, but we've also played on public hard courts in East naples.

I'll pass along your contact info to the other guys in hopes of getting you in the loop.

Paul, we're trying to get something together for tomorrow. Looks like we have 3 guys, but need a 4th.
I'm not the one organizing, so I can't make the invitation concrete but wondered if you're available maybe in
the afternoon?

I am busy today and tomorrow moving into my new apt in Bonita Springs. Next week onward I will be wide open. Let me know if something else comes up. Thanks!

FWIW, Paul & I played last weekend with two others at Naples High School (Golden Gate Pkway & Goodlette--just north of Coastland Mall).

It's certainly not an ideal location--the windscreens are down and the traffic from Goodlette is rather noisy.
Since school is closed, there's no access to water fountains or bathroom facilities. And they're working on the school grounds, so there are bobcats/ workers running around.
Good things are that access is free and somewhat more centrally located.

Hey Paul,

Just found this website and joined. Have not played in awhile but really want to start to play consistently. Hitting around, singles/doubles, competitive. I think I'd be considered 3.0 until I got back into the swing of things. I'm in North Naples near immokolee/airport. If there are any times/days or courts best for you just let me know!

Thanks and nice to meet you,

Also any recommendations on players on this site would be helpful as well!
