Carderock Tennis Teams
Women’s Team
The Women’s C1 team plays in the fall and the spring in GWTA (Greater Washington Tennis Association). That runs typically from September to the beginning of November and March through the beginning of June. Practices are on Thursday mornings typically at 10:00 and they usually run 7 or 8 weeks in the fall and again in the spring and basically follow the GWTA league schedule. Matches can be in Maryland, D.C. or Virginia and are on Tuesdays mornings. They begin at 10:00am with warmups at 9:30am. Starting in May, women participate in the Evening League. No practices and matches are on Thursday evenings starting at 6:30.
If you’re interested, Please contact team captain Jo Borsh at joejothga@verizon.net
Men’s Tennis Team
The Carderock Men’s Tennis Team is active year round. We play other clubs in The Evening League, where we play Tuesday evenings roughly mid-May through mid-August. Not all team members play in every match. It’s nominally a USTA 4.0 league, but there are many players in the 3.5-4.0 range, including on our team. Weather permitting, all year we have an optional practice on Sunday mornings. It’s a great group of guys, and the practices, which always include doubles play, are a lot of fun.
If you’re interested, Please contact team captain Steven Seitz at steven.e.seitz@gmail.com
