4. What level of tennis will I find at the Network?

Most of the Network members are intermediate to advanced players, and some are very advanced players. The majority of our matches are geared to intermediate and higher levels. When the courts are not too busy, we can also accommodate players who prefer singles match play. At this time we can not accommodate novices and beginners. However, programs for beginners are planned for 2010.
