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 8:00am, a group gets together for play on soft courts only. PLEASE NOTE the change from Monday mornings to Tuesday mornings beginning Jan 3, 2012 - used to be Monday mornings but now Tuesday 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 Fall 2011 UTHL season has ended - so the Tuesday morning group at RSTC will resume from Tuesday, January 3, 2012 and continue through Tuesday, February 14, 2012. The Winter 2012 UTHL season will begin on Monday February 20, 2012.

   
• 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 - starting the Winter schedule a little early this year because the court lights are not available during the construction at Shoreline. 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.
