Calling all tennis players! All levels! Let’s meet and do what we love – play tennis. We will set up individual and doubles matches. We can play anywhere in the Greenville area. I recently took over this group from a previous organizer and I am excited about the opportunity! I know a lot of people prefer to play singles only, and sometimes doubles only. I want everyone to be able to play tennis the way they love to play! If you’re interested in becoming a secondary event host, and post your own tennis meet-ups, please message me and we can discuss it!
