Tournament Format Overview:
BALL MACHINE
(Update Mar 2024) The Ball Machine is back, completely fixed up with new parts. First trial run will be on May 7th. Weather permitting, the ball machine will be set up on court 16 every Tuesday from mid-May to the end of August. Typical operation is 5:30~6:45pm for baseline rallying followed by volley practice till ~7:30pm. We welcome volunteers to help set up the nets at the start and take them down at the end.
QETC is likely the only recreational tennis club that has a ball machine 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.
