Intensive practice session for 4.5 to 5.0 player in NYC?

Hello! I moved to the NYC area several months ago and I am looking for a tennis partner. I am 34 years old (the legs still work..haha...) and a 4.5 to 5.0 player. I am hoping there is someone that plays at the same level that would like to have an intensive practice session once or even twice a week; maybe play a series of tiebreaks, work on ground strokes, or just get a quick sweat hitting, etc. I play in Long Island on the weekends but hoping someone is available in the Queens/Manhattan area during the week day evenings. During the indoor season, maybe we could play at the NTC in Flushing (nice, well-maintained courts with decent rates in the morning and late hours). I enjoy playing the game and like the challenge of improving. I am sorry if this type of request has already been posted on this board. Thank you for everyone's help. My email address is irapdo@gmail.com

Id be up for a good practice. I play sometimes in Edgewater NJ right across the river. Rates are pretty good. Binghamton racket club. Much cheaper than the city and closer than Queens or any outer boroughs. Ill hit your email. I am 44 but I do practice and play a lot of the local pros so I can give you a good workout at the very least.

Hey arche3 or anyone other solid 4.5's/5.0's in this area,

I will be staying in that area (Ridgefield NJ) this weekend 2/19 & 2/20 and would love to have a hit session at Binghamton if you are available. I'm a former D3 player and was on a 5.0 USTA team that went to Nationals this year.

If interested post in this thread or email me.

ever so many thanks arche2 and geom for responding!! NJ is really a bad location for me :( I am really bummed that I missing out on some good hitting but I can't make it to NJ in any reasonable amount of time with limited car available. Really, Queens/Manhattan or work best for me. If I am ever in NJ area next, I will hope to call either you to set up a session!

I work in midtown area actually. So maybe when it's warmer we can have a hit during the day? Or earlier mornings or afternoons. Depending on your schedule. Courts in city are 125-150 an hour indoors right now. I can't justify the double price over the jersey courts. Probably too far a trek going to queens for me during the day during work hours lol.

arche3, your profile doesn't allow email.... how to get hold of you?

my office is actually in Englewood Cliffs (but has not visited for more than a year).... I used to sneak out to that Korean run golf range in Edgewater at lunch time when I go to the office....

In the coming months I may have to go to Englewood Cliffs / Fort Lee offices again.

Based on your profile and post, I assume you work in NYC but live on Long Island right and you own a car but take mass transit to go to work?
