An Update on Play at Alice Sweet Courts

While the folks at Iglesia de Christo Church (adjacent to the Alice Sweet Courts) were kind enough to offer use of their picnic table for social time following matches, we have made the decision to suspend our use of their facilities. Following matches, we suggest that you consider heading two blocks north on Simms to the Apex Pickleball facility where they have tables and restrooms, or simply set up on the grass at Alice Sweet.

ATC Court Numbering

The numbers on the outdoor courts at the Apex Tennis Center have been changed so that the numbering is more intuitive. The front courts (closest to the facility) are now from left to right 1, 2, 3, 4. The rear courts (farthest from the facility) are now numbered from left to right 5, 6, 7, 8.
