Racquets
Members get involved in year-round racquet sports at the OLCC where there are 4 Har-Tru tennis courts and 2 Platform Tennis courts to keep them active through the whole year.
Come hone your tennis game on the four Har-Tru courts (many players tell us they are the best clay courts around), get some tips from pro Glenn Marshall. Participate in the leagues for women, men, kids. Special tennis competitions, lots of serious tennis and social Inter-club sign-up games, special children’s events to let them try the game, a tennis shop, and great assistants who teach and work with adults and children. Favorite events are “Breakfast at Wimbledon” with matches and refreshments and the “New England Open” which wraps up with an old fashioned lobster/ clambake dinner on the deck.
The Pro Shop, an authorized Head dealer, also carries the USTA under-ten equipment including low compression balls.
There are team tennis, leagues, lessons, and practice sessions with the ball machine.
Platform tennis is an American racquet sport enjoyed by people of all ages. Because it is played primarily as a doubles game, platform tennis fosters social engagement and camaraderie that is unique to the sport. It can be played at highly competitive or purely recreational levels. Platform tennis can be a fast-paced game of speed, power and quick thinking; it can also be a game of finesse, patience and strategy.
