Do You Play Rec Tennis or Competitive

[CivicLx]

Do you play tennis with your friends or at a club just for fun or do you play in tournaments such as USTA, school or at your local club?

I'm mostly a rec player but I would like to start entering more community tournaments.

recreational is better for a normal person...
stress from tourneys isnt good for school

I play mostly recreational with my friends and such. Even when we play a match...its all for fun. But i play varsity for my HS team so come time for tennis season i do play competitive tennis.

Where's the option for both?

My local community has a tennis association, so it's a little bit like a club, but not quite. Basically you pay a small annual fee to get access to the courts and help to pay for court upkeep. They run several tournaments every year and do a tennis ladder and a non-USTA team tennis league. The Tennis Assoc. also holds fun mixers and a very fun drop-in-tennis night.

I play both local and USTA tournaments, but even when I have a ladder match, odds are it's against one of my friends or a person I know. On the flip side of that, a lot of the people I play against competitively also get together and hit around for fun.

More recreationally in a league I play in , but play in tourneys every once in a while. I would call these USTA tounraments recreational as well, because you don't win money.

Similar here. I'd call it that I play recreationally in competitive tournaments and leagues...

Incomplete poll. Should have a "both" catagory. I play USTA leagues in addition to drop-in singles and drop-in doubles (social).
