CATS is a mixed doubles league that offers fun both on and off the courts with year-round tennis and social events. Founded in 1969, CATS is Chicago’s oldest tennis club!
CATS members play indoors at Lakeshore Sport & Fitness on Wednesday nights from 9-11 PM in Fall, Winter/Spring and Summer Sessions. Teams are divided into three levels so players of most skill levels can find a fit. Social events include tennis round-robins and outings to professional sports events.

CATS Will Have Four Skill Divisions Again: Starting in the Fall 2025 Session, CATS will again have four skill divisions. In the last few years, Flight 2 had gotten so large and had such as wide range of skills that it made sense to split it into two groups: Flight 2 and the new group, currently known by the working title Flight 1.5 to indicate that it is a bridge between Flights 1 and 2. The board members are still discussing what its permanent title should be. See News for more details.
Congratulations to the Winning Teams of the Summer Session! Flight 1, Team Buklis; Flight 2, Team Heisler; and Flight 3, Team Szkwarek. For the final standings, go to Standings.
Zelle Account, 11/27/24: Effective immediately, the new address for CATS’ Zelle account is catstennistreas@gmail.com.
