Derick's Page

Random things about me (hobbies, occupation, tennis history, favorite band, etc.):: I like to play about 2 times a week, but would like to increase that to 5 or 6. My schedule is flexible so I prefer to play during the day when traffic is not to bad and the courts are not crowded. I like to play for at least an hour and a half each time I go out, and like to play a couple sets after warming up. I am always looking for more people in that is at a similar skill level.

On the court, I am a:: rightie, one-hander, gamer, top-spinner, gracious winner, gracious loser

My favorite local courts:: I like to play at Horner on Montroose just east of California. The City also just refinished the courts at Athletic field on Addison just east of the Kennedy, that is within walking distance from me, they are new and pretty nice, but do not drain very well.

We are all very excited to have created this "community-based" tennis website which puts the focus on the members.

To get started, please upload a photo or avatar for yourself (if you haven’t already.) Whether it's of you, your dog, your racquet it doesn't matter, but it helps people remember you. You can also personalize Your Page with pictures, links, RSS feeds, colors and more here.

If you are looking to meet people for tennis matches, Join the group in your area and introduce yourself in there. Some groups have regular meeting times and some are more one-on-one and flexible. If there’s no group in your area yet, start a group page for your town and invite your tennis contacts. It's a good place to keep in touch with everyone in your circle.

Tennisopolis is also a great place to network with people all across the country and talk about this game we love.

Other places to explore: come talk tennis in the forum, add your own photos, post your own blog entries.

…and just hang out and meet great people.

Welcome aboard,
Mark
