This division is designed for intermediate players who can consistently get serves and returns in play, are beginning to use third-shot drops, and can sustain rallies at the net. Players in this range are working on consistency under pressure, and prefer building rallies over hitting every ball hard. If this sounds like you- find a partner and click here to register.
