Hi,

I'm in Phoenixville also and am looking for some people to play with locally either in the evenings or weekends. My tennis partner got an elbow injured, so I'm looking for more people to play with. I don't know my level, but I think I can hit and play pretty good. Please let me know if you are interested. My email is dphrom@gmail.com

Imran and Don (or anyone else in Phoenixville),

I haven't contacted you because my tennis schedule has been full, but today I am without a partner and the weather may hold.

I know this is short notice, but if either of you are interested in playing in Phoenixville this evening (Thursday, June 5), please let me know. My preferred courts are off Starr St. near Rt. 29 & Rt. 29, but I’d be happy to go to other courts I can ride my bike to. I can probably be ready between 5:30-6pm.

Thanks!
Jess

Jessica,

Not sure if you are still looking for hitting partners, but I work in the collegeville area and am looking for more people to play with on a consistent basis. I'm a 31 y.o. female, and would rate myself as an advanced beginner - intermediate level player. Do write if you are still looking for a hitting partner (or if you know of someone in the area who might me looking for a tennis partner).

Thanks
Meena

I'm new, really new. Looking to get into the sport. I'm pretty athletic and learn quickly. I live in Conshohocken and looking to play in that area. Let me know if you want to play sometime.

Wow, this site works really great.

Haha - was that a sarcastic remark? I'm playing tennis this Thursday for the first time in over a year, so I'm looking to get back "into it" as I'm out of shape at the moment. Also, I have moved to Bryn Mawr although I still work in King of Prussia, so maybe we could play sometime in the next few weeks.

 

You say you're looking to get into the sport - (how much) have you played before?

Me sarcastic? Never :)

 

I have hit the ball around with people but I wouldnt say I have played a game. I'd like to eventually play once every week or 2. I live in Conshy and work in Wayne so KOP would be a good. Weekends are hit or miss for me due to the beach but weekdays are usually fine. Where do you play in KOP?

That's cool. I'd like to get back into it with drill-type games, so that would probably also be a good fit for you getting started. For example, we hit back and forth from the baseline, and any balls that bounce between the net and the service line get 1 pt, and any that hit between the service line and the baseline get 2 pts., and you play to 21. This allows you to focus on hitting a specific distance without having to switch up to other forms as you would during a match.

My courts of choice in KoP are the ones at Bob White Park, but there are only 3 so they fill up fast.

For reference, here is a map of courts I created (the Bob White courts are listed on it): http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=214146112900902622196.00043c4b6...

My weekends are the same as you, but my Mondays and Wednesdays are already accounted for, so Tuesdays and Thursdays would probably be best for me.
