Club Programs 2023
The FFTC offers a variety of programs to accommodate various levels of play for all members as noted below. We encourage all members to contact the Program Convenors to sign up for a program(s) that interests you or if you have any questions.
Open Play
There are a variety of Open Play days and times being offered with each session catering to various levels of play. These sessions are a great way to experience different partners, and more importantly, to get to know other members of the club. We encourage you to contact the appropriate Convenor to let them know if you'll be attending to ensure there will be enough players to fill each court. You will also be added to the Convenors' email list for them to let you know of any announcements or changes to the schedule. It’s recommended to please check your player rating using the self-rating rating guide to see which session will meet your level of play and enjoyment:

Ladies 3.5+ Round Robin
The Monday Ladies Round Robin is a relaxed and fun tennis environment for players with a minimum rating of, or near, 3.5. The round robin format cycles players with different partners, promoting an equal level of play on each court. It’s a great way to experience different partners, and more importantly, to get to know other ladies from the club. An email is sent out monthly, requesting player availability for the coming month. A schedule is established showing when each player will play, and includes a spare list. Scheduled players are responsible for organizing their replacement if they need to cancel from the supplied spare list. If you’re unsure of your player rating, please consult the self-rating guide.

Leagues
There are three separate days of league play for mixed doubles tennis in a progressive format. Scores will be recorded and used to ensure competitive matches by moving players based on performance to courts of similarly skilled players. Please contact the appropriate Convenor indicating which day(s) you are interested in playing. If you cannot commit to play on a regular basis, please indicate if you want to be on a waiting list to sub in when needed. An email invitation will be sent out each week by the Convenor for players to respond to, indicating their availability for the coming week of play. You will receive an email confirmation from the Convenor to let you know if you are scheduled to play. If you do not receive a confirmation email it’s because that session is oversubscribed, or your response was not received in a timely manner.
