POP TENNIS Pop Tennis is available at North Courts for casual drop-ins on certain days in season and off season. Pop tennis is an amalgamation of tennis and pickleball that involves some of the best attributes of both games. The advantages of pop tennis (versus pickleball) include: • The ability to utilize existing clay courts (by simply ‘drawing’ a line in the middle of the back court to ‘shorten’ the court) • Use of clay court surfaces, which are forgiving on your joints • Very little noise is generated by play. • The game uses (essentially) the same rules as tennis and is actually good for your tennis game as the strokes are the same, and pop tennis teaches you to watch the ball better. TENNIS EVENTS • Special events are hosted throughout the year. • Events are by reservation through the Pro Shops and at PelicanBay.org. • Special events include: » Foundation in-house leagues, ladders and tournaments » Mixed-doubles socials 65 Pelican Bay Member Guide 2023 PelicanBay.org
