Hey my name is Paul.  I live in Bellmore and I am looking to play some tennis.  I am very athletic but since I do not play often, my skills are in the average range.  Looking to get a good run.  I am off from work in the summer so, weekdays are ideal for me.  Let me know if you are interested.  Maybe Tuesday and/or Wednesday mornings?

Thanks
