POP Tennis
POP Tennis, formerly known as Paddle Tennis, is a
fun, fast sport that can be enjoyed by people at all fitness
levels. Though played on a smaller court, with a different
paddle, and 20 percent deflated tennis balls, POP Tennis
is otherwise scored and regulated like traditional tennis.
POP Tennis is played on the courts to the left of the Main Clubhouse
usually on Thursday mornings from 8 to 10 am (fall/winter hours).
Additionally, there is a group that plays Tuesday, Thursday, and
Sunday afternoons from 3 to 5 pm. People are free to come
and go as their schedules permit. Hours are subject to
change, so it is best to check the bulletin board located at the
courts for current play times.
All are welcome and there are always friendly folks to teach
beginners the game! Paddles and balls are provided too. For more
information or to express a desire to be on a decision-making
committee, contact Carl Miller at (951) 512-3131 Hope you'll POP in!

Our regular play times are Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 4 to 6 pm,
and Saturday from 10 am to 12 pm. Due to scheduling conf licts with the
Ballroom, we sometimes move to special play times, which are updated on the
SLCC website and printed copies are available on play days in the Ballroom.
There is also a touch screen monitor in the Main Clubhouse Lobby where
you can check the schedule. If you have any questions or concerns, contact
Gary Lile at (805) 722-7427, 4lile@yahoo.com or leave a message with John

the only requirements are laced tennis shoes and a desire to have fun, play
with friends, and enjoy the health benefits of this low-risk activity. We also
have a dedicated robot for individual practice.
