    Hello Chris,

    I just found this website and am interested to knowing more details about like how I can sign in to join for the next Sat at Canada College.

    I'm just started to play and looking for somebody play with. If any levels are welcome to your group, please tell me how I can be a member of your group.

    I just want you know that I'm from Japan and my English is not good.

    I'm looking forward to hearing from you.
    My email address: kobecalifornia@yahoo.co.jp

    Thank you,
    Taeko

    Hi Chris

    I am visiting from Scotland, I see you have meet organised for tomorrow. is it acceptable for anyone to turn up, or is there a standard of ability required.
    I am not quite sure what rating I would be I guess from what I can gather between a 3 or 4.

    Cheers

    I guess we will be missing out this weekend, it's pouring down. Hope to catch up with you at your next get together.

    Actually when is that, so I can schedule it.
  • Rafael

    Getting dry over here if you want to play later, raf
  • Rafael

  • Michael

  • Michael

    "can hit for a long time"? yeah right! ;) yo... can you play earlier tomorrow? like at 10am? i've probably gotta roll around 11:30a. i'll see if rafael can make it earlier as well.
  • Mark / The Mayor

  • Michele

    You never know - I may show up one Saturday :) I did find a group of 5 in Rocklin. We'll see....Michele
  • Michele

    hey Chris, How are you all doing? I am in the Roseville tennisop. group now but they need help organizing a reg group hitting get together. what do you recommend? what can i do to get things going
  • Chaitra

    Thanks Chris, I look forward to playing some tennis once the weather gets better.
  • Karen in CA

    Chris: Thanks for the info about the group. I'm looking forward to joining you on the court in the new year. Happy New Year!
  • Rafael

    Hey Chris, maybe nextnext weekend if the weather is okay, thinking Sat 01/17/09... Let's plan for Rinconada if the weather permits (unless people would rather do it somewhere closer for the majority, I don"t mind going anywhere). Can you set up an Event for it???
  • Kendra S.

    Hey Chris, you look like you're in the know on this site so I thought I'd hit you up for some advice. I'm new to the site...I work on the Peninsula (San Mateo actually) and live in SF. Anxious to get to playing more....been off it for too long. I'm pretty much average and inconsistent right now but want to change that! Any advice for how to meet some partners, events I could go to, etc?
  • Kendra S.

    Hey! Thanks for getting back to me. Unfortunately (or fortunately since Im going to DC for the inauguration!) I can't make the event this weekend. But sounds good about meeting up in San Mateo some night after work....you're probably a lot better than me and may get bored quickly but I would really appreciate it! I'll be next week after I get back. I usually leave work around 6, so 6:30 at any court in SM would be great for me. Generally Tuesdays are bad, all others good.
  • Mark / The Mayor

    Come play along in the Australian Open Pick 'em Bracket Challenge. A fun way to follow the first major of the year!

  • Semisi

    hello chris,
    how are you? did you guys hit yesterday? i was suppose to come, but had errands forever and didn't get done till late. i'll probably go hit at the wall at Rinconada today....
  • Kendra S.

    hey yah lets do Wed after work! I'm stoked, I havent played in a while so some patience might be required. :) Im excited! Let me know time and place, and i probably could get there by 6 at the earliest, depending how close to San Mateo!
  • Semisi

    hey chris, didn't go after debating with myself on the weather...i really needed to hit, i may go out tomorrow?
  • Rafael

    Hey Chris, hope the shoulder feels better...
  • Semisi

    hey chris,
    I was at Canada from 8.30am until 10.30am today...just thought you should know that the USTA have tournaments at Canada almost every weekend up until April. They start at 10am through the late afternoon. So you could play early morning or late afternoon. So you might want to check their full schedule or change the venue on I have keys for 15 courts in Menlo Park if you want to change it to that venue. But you should warn people on this site about the courts....thanks
    semisi
  • Semisi

    here's a link to some of the potential courts within our reach.
    I have keys for Burgess Park - 2 courts, Nealon Park - 5 courts, Hillview - 2 courts, Coleman Park - 4 courts.
    Menlo College also has 12 courts.

  • Joe F.

    Will you be doing a hit around on Saturday, March 14th at Canada College? If so, I'll be there.
  • Semisi

    I live in Menlo Park and they require you to purchase a key for the courts in Menlo Park which i have and there over 15 different courts and about 8 or so have lights for night play. And Menlo College has I believe 15 courts. I could check..it's just the street from me.
  • Rafael
