    Sopranos-style Tennis - Playing in New Jersey

    Is adult tennis the same in different parts of the country?  Do you have to try out as an adult? Are you required to buy the uniform? Can you flip courts? Is a win on court 1 worth more than other courts?

    We are replaying a few of our most popular episodes and this was one of them!

    We really appreciate Kana joining us to discuss playing tennis in a league in New Jersey. It seems like playing tennis in New Jersey can be a little intense!

Right On

I love listening to these local ladies. I learn a lot, laugh a lot, and am eager to play again and put what I’ve learned into practice. Thanks for a job well done.

Very enjoyable!

I always enjoy listening to Second Serve! Always a good/entertaining story, learning something I didn’t know rule-wise, or some good advice to try in my tennis game!

Brief & Fun!
