Hey R. Loyd! Last fall, I has worked myself up to a respectable "intermediate" singles player. Sadly, in early October I broke my left wrist pretty badly (on the court) and had to have surgery. I'm not virtually recovered from the injury, but my skill level is back probably back down to "advanced beginner" ... or something like that. E.g., good serve, decent forehand (if occasionally inconsistent), improving backhand, etc.). But I LOVE LOVE to play. I'd like to play everyday, but that just seems impossible. If you'd like to play and see how our skills match, send me an email to JOQ2527@gmail.com. I'd like to start playing Ultimate Tennis (K-Swiss League) again, but not in this condition!!! LOL Btw, my name's John. So lemme know. ;-)

Hi Tiffany!
Good to hear from you - there don't seem to be a lot of beginners on this site! I am in N Ormewood Park which is on the other side of Moreland from EAV. Do you want to try and set up a time for this week to play? Tuesday or Wednesday evening would work and possibly this weekend. Not quite sure what my holiday plans are. Let me know and we'll set something up!

Take care,
Ronane

I typically get off work around 5 and can be on the court by 5:30 or 5:45. I've played at Grant Park several times, but I understand there are courts near Gresham Park in EAV as well. You want to shoot for Grant? What time can you comfortably get there?
