tennis in Arlington

Hey! Just joined this site - looking to play tennis casually. I'm not competitive at all, beginner (maybe 2.5) but have been playing for a while so I know the basics. I have time after work on weekdays or on weekends. I know of a few courts in the Arlington area.

Hey Stephanie,

I'd be up for hitting around with you in Arlington. The only thing is that with the (finally) nice weather, my sports schedule is getting a little full! However I'd love to make some time. Email me if you are interested and don't mind scheduling something a week or two out.

Enjoy!

Great, thanks! Yeah, I don't mind planning a bit in advanced, that's probably better for me too. I'm not sure how good you are, but I'm def still a beginner, trying to get better. Where is a convenient place for you to play and when are you free in the next week or two?

Steph

I would be interested in playing (or sharing lessons). I live in the Capitol Hill area but am willing to take metro to a convenient court.

That sounds great. I know there are a few in Arlington..don't know much about wait time or availability. I can find out though. Would you be interested in late next week or next weekend?

Sounds good. I can play during the day this Friday (which might be easier in terms of getting courts) or Saturday morning. There are two courts in Garfield Park (in Capitol Hill) and there is rarely a long wait for those. Otherwise, like I said, I can take the metro to VA. Look forward to it.

Unfortunately (well and I guess fortunately) I work on Fridays during the day. However, I just found out that one of the courts near my house takes reservations online! When and where do you work? I work out in Alexandria but live in Arlington and can drive to Capitol Hill on weekends. My courts have availability this Saturday at 11:30, would that time work for you?

Saturday at 11:30 works for me as long as the court is close to a metro stop (I just moved down here recently and don't have a car yet). If so, if you could give me directions, I can meet you there. Thanks.

I made reservations at 12:00 and the place is metro accessible, near the Virginia Square metro. Here's the address - 1015 N Quincy St. Arlington VA 22201, it's right by the Arlington library. Let me know if you need additional directions or if that time/place doesn't work for you. Next time we can try courts near you if you want...

Does tomorrow still work for you Catherine? My number is 610 657-6854, would you mind calling me tonight or tomorrow morning so we can decide when and where to meet up?

Hi Stephanie and everyone else who responded,

I'd be up for playing sometime. I'm also not competitive, and really just like to hit around. I live in Rosslyn and can bike to Georgetown or most anywhere in Arlington. Evenings or weekends.

Hope to hear from you! My email address is jeremylavine at gee mail (I'm not writing it verbatim to avoid spambots).
