How to Meet New Players
Racquet Network's primary purpose is to help racquet sports players
find other racquet sports players at their level. Our staff work hard to create
the tools and opportunities our members need to do this.
Your Profile
The search for new playing partners begins in each member's PLAYER PROFILE. This powerful profiling tool allows each player to list the racquet sports they play and the level they want to play them at. Players can also describe in detail their game style, their preferred facilities and their interest in playing people of other genders and skill levels.
Search Other Profiles
Once their profiles are up to date, players can begin searching for other players at their level using our powerful PLAYER SEARCH tool. Most players also choose to list multiple phone numbers. All players in our network can be contacted by email.
Email addresses remain hidden at all times in order to supress spam. Phone numbers are hidden behind a login screen and are visible to members only. When contacting players by phone, please use common sense; call between 10:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m.
Players Seeking Partners
Players who are new to our network have the option of activating a feature in their player profiles that will let other players know that they are actively seeking new playing partners. Once they have found enough new partners, they are welcome to turn this feature off.
Clinics & Lessons
Clinics, lessons and other programs are all excellent places to meet new racquet sports partners. The number of racquet sports clinics that Racquet Network is able to sponsor in any local network depends on the number of instructors who are part of that local network. In areas where instructors in the local network are active and eager to offer clinics and other programs to our members, we can offer many opportunities.
Monthly Round-Robins
Monthly Round-Robins give our members an opportunity to meet other members in non-competitive situations. Racquet Network maintains two monthly Round-Robins for each of our racquet sports. One is open to women-only; the other is co-ed. Round-robins were created with beginners and low-intermediate players in mind. Those with higher skill levels are welcome to participate, but they are encouraged to foster a non-competitive, social atmosphere.
Challenge Ladders
Regardless of the size of your local network, you will always find the most active players listed on our Challenge Ladders. Generally speaking, ladder players are competitive people who like to keep score. So if competition is what attracts you to racquet sports, joining a ladder is a great way to begin meeting new people.
Box Leagues
As the clubs within each local network grow, Racquet Network establishes Box Leagues for competitive players. Each club home page displays a list of active Box Leagues. If your club has a Box League, consider joining it. Box Leagues provide many opportunities for meeting competitive players in your favorite racquet sport club.
Clubhouse
Every local network has its own CLUBHOUSE. The activity in the CLUHOUSE depends a great deal on the size of the local network. In areas with large player networks, the forum can be an excellent place to make first contact with new players. Be sure to stay in touch with your network's CLUBHOUSE by logging in on a regular basis. Remember that new people join our network every week. So even the quietest of forums will eventually become a busy place at the heart of a thriving network of racquet sports players.
