I wont miss those dumb jackets he wears after the matches or his crying after he loses.

roger balakrishnan replied to Joseph's discussion 'High-Level 4.5-5.5 Doubles Court - A new player joining in - what do you look for that makes this player belong on your court?'"I look for a couple things -
a good serve down the middle and into the body

derrick said… - I usually get home from work around 5pm. Weekends i'm good between 8:30 - 12:00.
If you're willing to come out by Lougheed Mall I have courts available at my apartment complex which are private and are not used regularly. If not we can meet somewhere else but risk the danger of waiting for courts.
I'm also interested in doubles and can bring a buddy who is decent if you have someone to bring as well.
Feel free to email me at dli604@hotmail.com
