It's not all about softball!
I am a casual tennis player - by that I mean I've played off and on for probably 35 years, depending on where I lived and whether or not I worked full-time or not and how old my kids were, etc. Last time I was rated (for an indoor league), I got put on a 3.5 to 4.0 team, but I think that was just because they needed another person to fill out the league. I'm probably really a 3.0-3.5 player. However, it helped my game to compete with better players, so maybe now I'm truly a 3.5, who knows.
Anyway, I played in the monthly pizza social at Tierra del Sol Rec Center last year (only once). Meant to do it more but stuff happens. It was fun, but not serious tennis; however, I will definitely do it again. Met some nice people.
I'm only interested in the free tennis. There is more at Glenview, but I think there are fees involved.
Was told that I could show up on Thursday mornings (I think) and get rated in TV and could then show up for like-rated playing, depending. Didn't have time last year, but plan to this year. In my experience, once you start playing, you will likely get asked to sub in other groups, and eventually play as much or more than you want. That's pretty much how tennis works everywhere, IMO.
It's most fun to play at your level, in most every sport.
