    Hello All!
    I am new to this site and new to the SFV Los Angeles area looking to getting back into the sport. I played college team tennis (See Pic) and have won a few tournaments some 20 years ago yet I am rusty after all of these years. I would love to hear from any groups or individuals that would like to play, joke and laugh while hitting a funny yellow ball around.

    I coordinate 2 doubles groups that play in Balboa Park, Mondays and Wednesdays from 7 to 9 p.m. We are intermediate level players with considerable experience. We sometimes need another player. We have an opening this Monday 6/30 for a player. If you are interested in checking us out, we will be playing on court 13 on Monday and court 14 on Wednesday. You can also check out our other groups by going on our website at www.Love40LA.com. We have a Saturday morning group at VN/SO park (Huston and Tyrone) from 8 to 10 a.m., and another group in Hollywood at Poinsettia courts that plays from 10 to 12 noon on Saturdays. The FAQ link on our website describes our Wednesday and Saturday groups. The Monday group is fairly new and hasn't been listed on the website. You can contact me directly at donn_s@yahoo.com or 818-990-0552. If interested, please leave a way to contact you. Thanks. Don

    Just wanted to point you to a couple of fun groups that popped up.
    My Racket, What's Yours?? is a place to show off your weapon of choice.
    Prince Players, We Got Next set up by Prince, Inc.
    Fans of Serena - obvious title, but I'm not joining. ;-)
