• 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!

  • Navigating Tricky Tennis Rules - Part 2
    Jun 14 2025

    What do you do if your opponent thinks you called the ball out but you didn't? What if someone touches the net? Does it matter if the ball is still in play? What happens if a ball hits a portable scoreboard? Do Carolyn and Erin have a problem and are thinking about these situations too much? =)

    Thanks again to Leah for all these great questions!
