Meet your fellow club members on the court. There are ladders for singles,doubles and mixed doubles. At the end of the year, the Garber Award is offered to the man and woman who played the most singles matches.





Volunteer

Palo Alto Tennis Club has openings for several enthusiastic people to help out with club functions-Membership Chair, Tournament Director and Social Director. The Membership Chair assists in implementing projects to increase club membership. The Tournament Director leads the various tournaments conducted throughout the year. The Social Director coordinates the various club social events held throughout the year.

TENNIS Anyone?

The Palo Alto Tennis Club holds 6 drop-ins a month, saving you from organizing games and finding players. Drop-ins at Cubberley Park (Middlefield/Montrose) are every Saturday 8-11 am on Courts 1,2 and 4. Contact Alistair Davidson at cubberley@paloaltotennis.com for information if you want to attend. Evites are sent out every Wednesday.

The Rinconada drop-ins are on the first and third Sundays of each month from 10 am to 1 pm at Rinconada tennis courts (Hopkins & Cedar). The events are open to the public for $2, club members are free. Email Henry at dropins@paloaltotennis.com for more info.

The Palo Alto Tennis Club (PATC) is a public organization devoted to the promotion of tennis. We have over 300 members who live in Palo Alto and surrounding communities.

Unlike private clubs, we are not based at an athletic facility. Our activities are organized by our members on a volunteer basis, and they take place on public courts in Palo Alto.

Group Shot of PATC Members

In addition to tournaments, social events, and charity events, we also offer a listing of members who would like to connect for casual games -- the Social Play Directory. Here members will find names and contact information for other seekers of casual play, along with their availablity and playing level.

We also offer play on five competitive ladders -- Men's and Women's Singles, Men's and Women's Doubles, and Mixed Doubles.

We occasionally compete against other local clubs in interclub team matches.

Members receive Net Notes, an emailed newsletter that contains news, updates, and links to the website and upcoming activities.

Volunteers to help us run our monthly activities are always welcome.

Membership in the Palo Alto Tennis Club is open to all.
