Monday Evening Tennis

Rob will be hosting this meetup at Cleveland Park. He’ll post any updates such as weather cancellations. All skill levels welcome. There will be singles and doubles depending on the numbers of players.

Please keep your RSVP updated

What we’re about

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!
