Here's How It's Going Down
Think friendship matchmaking, with a tennis lesson attached.

You will not be standing on a court wondering where to go or who to talk to. Every guest is placed into a group before she arrives, so the introductions are already done by the time the rackets come out.

1
You Get Matched
Complete the matchmaking form at checkout. Interest, comfort level, and what you want out of the evening all shape your group.
2
You Find Your Group
Arrive, find your name, meet the women chosen for you. Groups socialize before a single ball is hit.
3
You Learn Together
A 90-minute beginner lesson with Charlotte City Tennis instructors. Fundamentals, footwork, first rallies. No experience expected.
4
You Stay for Happy Hour
Rackets down, drinks up. Your matched group moves together to happy hour to keep the night going.
The Run of Show
One evening, start to finish.
4:45 to 5:00 PM

Country Club Charm, No Country Club
Being new at something is the fastest way to stop being strangers.

Nobody on these courts has done this before. That's the point. You'll be laughing at your own serve within ten minutes, and so will the women matched to your group.

Instruction, Courts & Equipment
Charlotte City Tennis brings the courts, the instructors, and the equipment, professional beginner instruction built for guests who have never picked up a racket, and a path to keep playing after.
Before You Go
Good to know.

Not at all, that's the whole point. This evening is built for true beginners. No experience is required, and none is expected. Charlotte City Tennis instructors start from the fundamentals.

Yes, and it's the best way to do it. Every guest is placed into a matched group before she arrives, so you'll never be standing on a court wondering where to go or who to talk to.

You complete a short matchmaking form at checkout, covering your interests, comfort level, and what you want out of the evening. We use it to place you into a group before you arrive.

Wear your tennis best. Think whites, pastels, and a little polish, something you're comfortable moving in on the court that also carries you straight into happy hour.

There are two stops. The tennis instruction happens at the court location, and happy hour follows at a separate, nearby venue. Both are revealed at checkout once you reserve your spot, and your matched group travels between the two together.

You'll tell us what you want next on the matchmaking form, a recurring beginner class, a private lesson, or open play, and Charlotte City Tennis will follow up directly with pricing and booking.

Spots Are Limited
Come as a beginner. Leave with a swing, a group, and a happy hour.
