Second Serve Podcast is the only tennis podcast created exclusively for adult recreational players by everyday tennis players. We are passionate about the game and our episodes are geared towards adults playing a sport in the later years of life (hence, the name “Second Serve”). This podcast discusses everything related to rec tennis. Topics include the following: advice for beginners; funny and crazy situations that happen on the court; the rules of adult tennis; and how it feels being an adult and getting your feelings hurt when you are not played in an important match. We know how it feels!

  • Sopranos-style Tennis - Playing in New Jersey
    Jul 26 2025

    Is adult tennis the same in different parts of the country? Do you have to try out as an adult? Are you required to buy the uniform? Is a win on court 1 worth more than other courts?

    We are replaying a few of our most popular episodes and this was one of them! We now know there can be no rule in USTA Leagues about order of strength lineups. Listen to our episode about USTA Urban Legends to learn more!

    We really appreciate Kana joining us to discuss playing tennis in a league in New Jersey. It seems like playing tennis in New Jersey can be a little intense!

    We would greatly appreciate a 5 star rating wherever you listen to podcasts!
