So, I needed to find a covered tennis court the other day. You know, somewhere I could play without worrying about the weather messing up my game. First thing I did? Grabbed my phone and started searching online.
I typed in “covered tennis courts near me” and, boom, a ton of results popped up. Mostly it showed some tennis courts on map. It seemed like there were loads of options, but I was after something covered, you know?
I started scrolling through the list, checking out different places. Some were private clubs, others were public courts. I even found a few that were part of apartment complexes. It was a mixed bag, for sure. And most of them did not meet my requirements.
Then, I remembered about this app I had heard of, Court Around. It’s supposed to help you find open courts nearby. I figured I’d give it a shot. Downloaded it, put in my location, and…not much. The app was kind of a letdown, to be honest. Just some regular courts, nothing covered.
I decided to look on TennisProNow, too. You can search by surface and location there. I spent a good amount of time on it, but still no luck. It’s like covered courts are some kind of secret or something. I also checked some message boards and stuff, and guess what? Nothing!
Feeling a bit stuck, I thought, why not just call up a few places? So, I dialed up some of the courts that looked promising online. Talked to a few folks, asked about covered courts, and finally, I hit the jackpot. There was this one place, a bit further than I wanted to go, but they had exactly what I was looking for.
So, I booked a time, grabbed my racket, and went to play. It was awesome. The court was covered, so I didn’t have to worry about the sun or rain. I played for a couple of hours, and it was totally worth the hassle of finding the place.
So, yeah, finding a covered tennis court took some work. A bit of searching, some app disappointments, and a few phone calls. But in the end, I found a spot and had a great time playing. That’s what matters, right?
- Searching Online: First step, always.
- Checking Apps: Court Around was a bust, sadly.
- Browsing Websites: TennisProNow, no luck either.
- Making Calls: Old school, but it worked!
- Playing Tennis: The ultimate goal, and it was great.
My takeaway?
Finding the right place to play can be a bit of an adventure. But don’t give up! Keep searching, and you’ll find your perfect court.
