Palo Alto Tennis Club Drop-ins
Palo Alto Tennis Club's most popular social events are the Cubberley and Rinconada Drop-ins. The Club holds 8 drop-ins a month (weather permitting), saving you from organizing games and finding players. We provide balls and refreshments. It's all free for club members, $5 per drop-in otherwise. These are adult events. Children 14 or older are okay when accompanied by an adult.
The Rinconada drop-ins are (almost) every Sunday at the Rinconada Courts (backside of the park, Hopkins Ave at the end of Cedar St).Drop-ins at Cubberley courts (Middlefield/Montrose - behind buildings) are every Saturday. Cubberly has fewer courts available, so the Saturday drop-in tends to be smaller than Sunday's.
Play starts promptly at 9:00 am and is conducted in four 45min. shifts until 12:00P. Put your name on the sign-up sheet when you arrive (ten minutes or more before play starts, please) and you'll be matched up with three other players of similar ability for mixed doubles whenever possible. Get there early so you can warm up your racquet!
At the end of each shift, all players leave the courts and get assigned new opponents. If there are more players than courts (8 courts for Rinconada, usually 4-5 for Cubberly), some people will have to sit out one shift. Please be courteous. We realize that it's no fun being dropped from a shift, but we are trying to be fair.
Michel & Daniele Campmas, Henry Riggs, Bruce Steinback, Albert Chiang and Peter Maresca alternately manage the drop-in table. Feel free to ask them any questions about how the drop-ins operate. Listen for the bell when its time to change partners.
