Special Notices

For most current info on this club, you are advised to look at the Carlisle Recreation Department web site at: http://www.Carlisle.org/recreation

The 2009-2010 season begins 16-Sep-09. The first session of the season consists of 12 weeks of play through 16-Dec-09. There are two skipped nights: 11-Nov-09 and 25-Nov-09. The fee to register for this session is $75. You may also attend on a per-night basis when space is available, and then there is an $8 drop-in fee.

Based on a high average attendance of 30-36 players during the Fall and Winter during last season, the club was trying to get a second night of play during the 2009-2010 season, but it appears this has not happened.

This club meets on Wednesdays from 7:00 - 9:30 p.m., and 6 courts are available. You can pay $8 per visit (when space is available) or sign up with a full registration for a session of 12 nights of play for a reduced fee of about $6 per night.

This activity is held at the Carlisle, MA Public School in the Corey Building gym. This is at 88 School St., just off Route 225.

This is an adult activity of the Carlisle Recreation Department, but players under 15 are permitted when accompanied by an adult. Players of all levels are welcome, from beginner/recreational to experienced/advanced. The emphasis is to get exercise and have fun and to have an enjoyable and challenging time in a supportive setting, while improving skills and techniques.

Bring your own racquet, or use one of the club racquets. Plastic birds are supplied, and you are welcome to bring and use feathered birds. There are six courts with painted lines. The ceiling is high, with good visibility. Play is primarily doubles, but singles play is possible when space permits.

Through the 2008-2009 season this club continued to play using the old 15-point game scoring. What they use in the 2009-2010 season has not yet been pinned down, but if all four players want to use the newer 21-point scoring, that is condoned.

There are two options for paying fees:

• You may sign up with a "full registration" for a session of 8-12 eveings of play (Fall, Winter, Spring), and registration is required for this. To get a form, call the Recreation Department at 978-369-9815 or register via the web at http://www.Carlisle.org/recreation.
• You may pay a $8 per session drop-in playing fee, subject to space availability. Although drop-ins are welcomed, on a crowded night, preference may be given to those with full registrations. Exact amount is required, and you are requested to fill out a registration form at least once during the series of sessions.

Park in the main lot near the lower entrance to the gym.
