Upper-Intermediate/Advanced Skills Courts
Courts 5 and 6 are for advanced players, 3.5+. We follow the USAPA guidelines for what defines a 3.5+ player and welcome any of the nationally recognized rating systems. Players on these courts should have, at a minimum, a solid grasp of these core skills: deep serves, positioning, dinking, drop-shots, drives, and kitchen-line volleys.
Intermediate players on the cusp of 3.5 are encouraged to play a few games when they feel ready for the extra challenge.
