CATS is a mixed doubles league that offers fun both on and off the courts with year-round tennis and social events.
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.

FUN WITH CATS NEWSLETTER
Fun With CATS is a collaboration between the Social Committee and the Director of Communications. It was published occasionally until CATS was able to resume playing tennis as a way of keeping in touch with each other and remembering how much fun we have on and off the court. Issues looked at photos of past events, shared news about members or information about tennis instruction—anything we can think of that’s fun and relevant to CATS! Issues generally have a main article followed by news tidbits. Issues to date are below.
FWC #1 An array of online tennis instruction at a bargain price (offer now over).
FWC #2 Denied traveling to exotic places, Peggy Harrison discovers photo opportunities close to home.
FWC #3 Revisit — or attend for the first time — CATS’ 50th Birthday party last year.
