    Hey Cliff. I was wondering if you'd be interested in playing at the USTA some time.

    Hi Cliff. There are fees to rent the court. They charge hourly. It's nice though since you get to play however long you pay for plus you get the whole court to yourself. I believe it's $18-25 an hour, depending on what time of day. It's cheaper if we split it in half. It'd be easier to chat on AIM or something. lol

    im new to NY, and dont' have a car, so it'd work best for me if you could hit in astoria park. But like most courts in NY, you need to get a permit or one-day pass to use the court. Let me know if you need permit info, thanks

    Hey Cliff, Please check out my comment on the Queens front page, as it's rather lengthy. I'm back & forth from Queens to L.I. like you, but now I'm mainly in Flushing near Kissena Park, which has courts. I was once a decent player, but will need to knock the rust ( and a few pounds) off. I might not be too challenging for you off the bat, but I just want to play & have some fun with it. My schedule is quite flexible, as I'm self-employed. I'd have see if a permit is needed for Kissena Park courts in Flushing. Perhaps we could meet to play there some time?

    Howdy Cliff,

    My schedule is a little up and down now, jumping from new job to new job...can't pinpoint a time slot. When I settle down I'll be sure to send you a tell.

    Hey Cliff,

    Hope those knuckles heal up soon. I'll be able to play after 6:30 or 7ishPM on MWF. Tuesday and Thursday in the morning up until noonish.

    The problem with the evening time is, the permits won't make a difference because the offices will be closed....so sometimes we won't even be able to get courts.

    Hi Cliff! I live nearby 9Bellmore) and would love to get some regular tennis time in. Be forewarned that I'm a rookie, yet eager to learn and improve. I fairly confident that I can volley back and forth now, and will improve drastically as I play more and more. Let me know.

    Cliff,

    Just moved out to Queens and am looking for partners out here. I am a 3.5 player. A few weekdays I can play after 5.

    Give me a shout if you are interested.

    I was going to look into courts out in Queens. Usually centers put up bubbles for the winter and charge around $20 per person per hour. I take it you have not played indoors this season yet? Give me a shout if you find something out or vice versa. 347 668 8250. Phoning me is better than email and this site. Thanks, Daniel.

    I'd love to play, I usually play in John J. Burns park in Massapequa, but am down for trying other spots. Once the temperature hits closer to 45 or 50 let's try and touch base.

  • Jenna

    I can do Monday, Tuesday, or Friday Evenings or Weekends. Then, once Summer comes I can do any time (I'm a teacher).

    Hey, Cliff! Would like to know if you'd be interested in playing. I'm around 4.0 but getting my game back together after a 3 year hiatus. Played USTA as a junior, played HS tennis and BRIEFLY (about a month) on Miami's practice squad in college. I live in Westbury so most places are pretty easily accessible. Weekends are best as I don't arrive back on LI until 8pm. Please feel free to call me at (516) 205-4254 or e-mail me at jwilliams@ccgglaw.com if interested. Thanks!
