Team tennis has been an institution with the Tennis Club for 12 years. Sandy Johnson is the organizer, referee, presenter and score keeper, among other things. The winning team is based upon the number of games each team has won throughout the day. Each team plays all the other teams. Coaches have the task of choosing who plays together against the other teams.
After the event and the winner was announced, club members socialized with snacks, music and beverages. The winning team was the red team and captain Dave Parrish.
