About the Club

The Palo Alto Tennis Club (PATC) is a public organization devoted to the promotion of tennis. Most of our members live in Palo Alto but we have many members from our surrounding communities.

Unlike private clubs, we are not based at an athletic facility. Our activities are organized by our members on a volunteer basis, and they take place on public courts in Palo Alto.

In addition to tournaments, social events, and charity events, we also offer a listing of members who would like to connect for casual games -- the Social Play Directory. Here members will find names and contact information for other seekers of casual play, along with their availablity and playing level.

We also offer play on five competitive ladders -- Men's and Women's Singles, Men's and Women's Doubles, and Mixed Doubles.

We occasionally compete against other local clubs in interclub team matches.

Members receive Net Notes, an emailed newsletter that contains news, updates, and links to the website and upcoming activities.

Volunteers to help us run our monthly activities are always welcome.

Membership in the Palo Alto Tennis Club is open to all. Click here to join!
