The Granite Tennis Team plays in the Richmond Racquet League, comprised of nearly 35 teams competing in four divisions. Currently the team competes in the fourth division. Matches are scheduled Saturday mornings from mid-April to mid-June, followed by the championship playoffs. The competition includes four singles and three doubles matches. There are currently 14 players on the roster, but more interested players are welcome. The league sponsors a more informal series of matches in the fall without rankings and playoffs. Barring bad weather, team members practice Saturday mornings at 9:00 at the Granite courts during the rest of the year.
Contact Graham Driver (378-9088) or Lou Collier (272-5354) for more information.
