Anyone have any suggestions please of where to play north of 466?
Mulberry south side. If you want to play advance beginner times you have to travel to different rec centers (look in rec center guide for times). Most all rec enter courts (6 or more) have times 10 to noon for beginner and advance beginner and some in afternoons. What I had to do for couple months or so till I got fundaments down. Courts are open play ever day of week from 8 (sunrise?) to 10 AM. Which means players can’t hog courts, they have to fall in line to like everyone. Some places some players think they are special and try to HOG courts during open play times.
