If you answered "Yes" to either questions 2 & 3, please tell us if there are certain days of the week and times which you prefer to play? If there are no certain dates and times, simply state "various" or "any."

* Tennis Ladders - The tennis committee believes that a tennis ladder is likely to stimulate play between members because each person or doubles team will be able to challenge the persons (or other doubles teams)ranked several rungs higher to matches. Winning a match against a higher ranked member or team will move you one level higher.
