TOURNAMENTS

(June 2025) Announcing the sign up for our first QE tournament of the year on Friday, June 13th, 2025. This is a mixed(men’s and women’s) teams tournament where players are chosen from a random draw for the initial game. Each winning team moves up the tournament ladder and switches partners each time on their way to the quarterfinals, semifinals and finals. This is a fun meet and greet tournament and offers the chance for different levels of players to play together.

Sign up is this Friday June 06th on a first-come-first serve basis.

Cut off is 32 players.

There will be two start times -5:00 pm and 6:00 pm.

Please let us know your preference.

Flexibility is appreciated as some members cannot start until after work and will need to be slotted in at 6:00pm. To sign up contact Gord at qetennistournament@gmail.com

You’ll be contacted and given your start time once the 16 teams have been paired up.

Looking forward to a great tournament!

No matter what your level, or if you’ve never played in a tournament before – you’ll want to join in the fun of tournament play set up on these QETC club nights.

BALL MACHINE

(2025 Season) Good news is Albert has fixed the imploded Ball Machine and we will have another season of Ball Machine practice on Tuesdays from June to August.

The Ball Machine operation will go as follows:

  1. 5:30 – 7:30 on Tuesdays with absolute good weather.
  2. To allow for uninterrupted play on court 16 at 5pm we will start the set up at 5:30. We appreciate volunteers to help in the set up.
  3. We will take down at 7:15 so that the court is free for the 7:30 session.
  4. Typical operation is 5:45 – 6:45 Baseline rally followed by 6:45 – 7:15 Volley and other shots. 

QETC is likely the first recreational tennis club that has a regular ball machine operation and we encourage players of all levels to take advantage of this facility. We suggest spending a half-hour session every Tuesday.  Novice players can develop muscle memory with practice. Intermediate players can set a target: backhand slices, angle volleys, offensive lobs, etc.  You will surprise yourself after a season of practice!  Advanced players are also welcome to practice and demonstrate proper stroke techniques.
