Sunday Afternoon Tennis at Wakefield Park, Annandale , VA
Date: August 24 through October 26.
Location: Wakefield Recreation Park, Annandale, VA (see directions below)
Leader: Charlie Williams
Time: Play times are 1-4 p.m.
Cost: $Free
Location: Wakefield Park, 8100
Braddock Road, Annandale, VA
Directions: Take the Beltway to Braddock Road West, Rec Center is first turn on the right, turn right into the park entrance and follow it to the large parking lot and Rec Center. Tennis courts are to the right just past the recycling bins.
The SCWDC is experimenting with Sunday afternoon tennis play at Wakefield Park for the next 3 months. Wakefield has 11 tennis courts and 6 back-board stations. The courts are rarely full at this time of year. So the deal, is you and other players come out, see who else is there, and put together a singles or doubles match. We will not reserve courts in advance, although anyone who wants to, can do so, and then form a group. How will you find other players? Start by going to the first bench along the walk-way between the courts. See if a SCWDC member has left a note about which court the SCWDC members are playing on.
This is a self rated social doubles format open to all levels of players starting with advanced beginner, able to serve and return serve.
Charlie, if he is there, will likely wear a light blue visor. Because this is open play, you should have some willingess to play with less rated players than you, or sometimes better rated players, and changing partners to even up sides when an much better team is playing a much less skilled team. In other words, this is Social Tennis which can be competitive depending on the match-ups.
Court Reservation information for those who want to be sure of having their own court: 703-321-7081. Doubles for 1 1/2 hours is & per hour.
Inclement weather. Call the park and ask about court conditions. Another option, go to Trafficland.com which has a camera close to Braddock Road and the Beltway.
