What we’re about
The Hong Kong Tennis Meetup Group is a platform for tennis lovers to convene, to organize games and matches, to promote the sport of tennis, and most importantly, to have fun. We welcome all levels of players from beginners to professional coaches to join us and serve each other.
To facilitate event organizing, please observe the following guidelines:
All members must post a face recognizable picture on the profile page. All ACCOUNTS WITHOUT FACIAL PICTURE WILL BE REMOVED WITHOUT NOTICE.
Anyone can request to be an Event Organizer (EO) as long as he/she has been active with the group. While being "active" is subjective, I would say a good attendance of 20+ without "no-show" is a good indication.
As EO, one would reserve the court, post and host the event. He can also place all RSVP on wait list from which the EO would pick out the final tennists before the event date.
As a courtesy to the EO and members on waiting list, please change RSVP well in advance. The general rule of thumb is at least 2 days before the event.
EO should post a self rating range on the event base on NTRP system, e.g. 1.5 - 2.5 for members to consider before RSVP.
EO determine cost but it must be posted on the event in advance. For amateur players, we suggest sharing the court fee and charge $10 each person for new balls. To cover some intangible expenses, EO can have the liberty to charge higher than cost.
From time to time, the group shall organize free coaching session exclusively for the EOs.
Members' record showing ONE no show without cancelling will be removed from the group. Late cancellations are considered as no show. We encourage Event Organizer to report no show ASAP so that the admin can take care of the issue. Please make sure all players who show up checkin to the meetup system.
Professional Coaches are welcomed to join us. Once recognized by the group organizer as a Meetup Coach, one can organize events just like any other EO and charge their own rate.
From time to time, the Group would organize community tennis event free to new comers in different district to promote the game. Professionals can take advantage of such events to promote their services.
If you haven’t notice, we call ourselves Tennist and our Headline is “Come serve with Tennis Meetup!”
