“This unique event will have players participating in three rounds of doubles where each round is a single set played with different people,” Humphrey said. “Participants can specify their preference to play more competitive doubles at their level or to get a chance to play different
formats such as mixed, multi-level, wheelchair and QuickStart. Smaller 36-foot QuickStart courts with foam balls will be set up for younger players, and for anyone who would like to try it out for fun.”

Members of the L&C men's and women's teams will also be participating.

The cost to play is $20 for adults, $15 for college and high school students, and $10 for players ages 14 and under. Proceeds and any charitable donations made will benefit the men’s tennis team, by helping to fund off-season competition and equipment.

“This is truly tennis for everyone. Come out and have fun, play good tennis, get a free T-shirt, meet other local tennis players, meet the team and support Lewis and Clark tennis,” Humphrey said.
