Looking for a little for fun pick up tennis around the Greater Pensacola area? Well, you can probably drop into any of the local clubs or courts and find someone to play with - but there are also a couple of quasi-regular groups that get together for casual for-fun tennis as well.

• Roger Scott Tennis Center:
  Every Tuesday and Thursday morning at 7:30am (8:00am during Winter), a group gets together for play on soft courts only. We have 3 soft courts reserved on Tuesday mornings when Under The Hill is between seasons and year 'round on Thursday mornings.
  
  Everyone is invited: young, old, beginner and open level players. Non-members and hard-court only members will need to pay appropriate soft court fees.

  NOTE: The Spring 2013 UTHL season runs from Feb 18 to May 6, 2013 - so Tuesday morning play will be discontinued from Feb 19 until May 14, 2013. HOWEVER! there are a couple of us who, usually, still play on Tuesday mornings, so drop Kicker or Marvin an email if you would like to get notices when we do play on Tuesday mornings while the UTHL season is in session.

   
• Shoreline Park:
  Generally every Sunday. The Fun Bunch folks have been meeting at Shoreline every Sunday for several years. No fees but participants occasionally bring various snacks to share with the group.
  
  Currently, play begins @ 1:00pm - this is the Winter Schedule. (Play begins at @ 6pm during the summer). Contact Mike Kemerer for more info or just show up and join the fun.
  
   
• Bayview Park Tennis Courts:
  There are 2 groups that meet for casual tennis:
  
  
  • Generally every Saturday morning from @ 6:30am to 10-ish.
     
  • Bayview Gentlemen's Tennis Club: the BGTC is a group of guys who meet every Mon/Wed/Fri morning for some doubles play - maybe a singles round or two depending on the number of guys who show up. Play begins @ 7:30am during Standard time - and @ 8:30am during Daylight Savings time. And it's okay to get there @ 30 minutes or so early - many of us do to warm up a bit. ...BGTC Rules...
  
  No fees for either of the Bayview groups but bring your own refreshments because there are no vending machines. There's a port-o-potty in the parking lot and full restroom facilities down the hill. Contact John McDaniel (850-932-0028) or Jack Gander (850-384 7912) for more info ... or just show up and join the fun.
