Payment
Please bring in your payment when you attend the party. There is no need to mail it in advance. I do not accept credit cards.

Cancellation
I understand the need to cancel at times. I often explain to players why it is important to call and let me know if they do not plan on coming, as there are 3 players who wait for the fourth on the court. The notice would also allow the WAIT-LISTED players a chance to play. You MUST call giving a notice of 4-5 hours prior to the parties start time, to avoid a cancellation charge of $20 if the problem persists.

Court Etiquette
Just a reminder, our parties provide a fun and relaxing atmosphere, where players can have friendly competition. We simply ask attendees to follow these guidelines:
1. Introduce yourself to the new players on the court. This will make for a more wholesome experience.
2. Be cordial to your partners and opponents.
3. Refrain from giving instructions to anyone on the court unless they request them.
4. Do not gun for the person at the net with fast and hard hitting especially in mixed doubles.


LAST WEEK'S RECAP
Friday It was another record weekend with old and new friends escaping the winter doldrums. This group rivals the Saturday night gang with their continuous play until the wee hours of the morning. Many vowed to be back for more of the same. Our baker/player lady again brought delicious homemade treats for all to delight in. Saturday
Our Friday night dynamic duo pulled a switch on us and joined their USTA teammates for practice on Saturday. Others who had been missing for a while came out and joined us, along with many newcomers from the NY area. The Hoboken/Piscatway buddies attended for the second week in a row. The Hoboken player had such a great time, gelling immediately with Hippy Kris and a couple acquaintances from Yonkers. She was grinning from ear to ear the whole hour. Our actuary player from Yonkers is back! Tonight was an impromptu convention for doctors from Guttenberg, Weekhawken and Riverdale (NY). However, their medical expertise was not needed.
Saturday
This week's two timers include a retired salesman from Leonia (played Friday and today), a doctor from Weekhawken (played Saturday and today) and a flooring expert. It was a big crowd and just a lot of fun for all.
Please call or email me to make reservations.

Look forward to meeting old and new friends!
