What is Paddle Tennis?
Spring Events
- Nina Webb Annual Club Tournament Results
- Saturday and Sunday
- March 28 & 29, 2026
- To recap, Sue McGilvray and Christina Seward came through a deep women's draw. They emerged from the round robin as the #2 seed, but played a great final to win 6-4, 6-0 over Annie Janeway and Mary Chamberlain.
In the Mixed championship, we had three teams who only played a round robin format. Elizabeth Wilcox and Lucian Snow cometed gamely (including Lucian's patented behind-the-back volley), as did 2024 champs Annie Janeway and Bear Barnes. In the end, My wife and I, Christina Astley, came through to take the title.
The men's draw had four teams that competed in the round robin, with the top two teams playing out the final. The winners were Dan Gottlieb and I, getting past Dave Evans and Mark Perkins in a fun, hard-fought match.

Sunday Learn to Play
Spring is a great time to learn and play paddle given the warmer temps and a lively ball that keeps the rally going.
These four (4) Sunday sessions will be geared toward newer players that want to work on the Five Key Shots of Paddle and get a bit more practice. Great for folks who play tennis -or- other racquet sports and would like a more structured intro to paddle. Participants can then choose to stick around for the Sunday Mixed Social that starts at 3pm. Dates provided on the new sign up shee
