Women's East Bay League
East Bay Women’s Tennis League season runs from September through April. Currently, we have two teams: An A3 team for women age 50+ who play at a 3.5 level or above 50+ and a Super Senior team for women 65+, who play at the 3.0 level or higher.
Players can play on both teams if one meets the age requirements. Generally, the A3 team plays home and away matches on Mondays. The Super Senior team plays home and away matches on Fridays. Both teams use courts 1,2,3,4 with warmup beginning at 9:30 AM. There is a combined team practice on Mondays (unless there is a home match), with the start time varying by the season, with earlier start times in the summer and later in the winter. If you have any questions please contact the captain, Mary Benin at "mary.benin .. at .. gmail.com"

Tennis - Drop-in or Open Tennis
Drop-In Tennis
It is Golden Rain Foundation policy that ALL Buckeye Courts are open to ALL Rossmoor Residents and their guests for Drop-In Tennis (was Open Tennis) every Tuesday and Thursday morning from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM on Courts 3 and 4. The following guidelines are offered to also allow private game play to co-exist with Drop-in Tennis play.
An Drop-in group is defined as 2 or more players. Sequence of play is rotational. Groups often consist of five or even six players. In these cases, at the end of each game, a new (waiting) player rotates into the server's ad court, the previous server goes out, and the remaining two players rotate clockwise for the upcoming game. To facilitate rotation, games are always played no-ad when people are waiting.
Courts 3 and 4 are reserved and are to be used for Drop-In Tennis. Private game players may sign in at the Buckeye tennis kiosk as usual during this time period beginning with courts 1, 2, 5, 6,7 and 8.

Wednesday Tennis Clinic
For many years, our friend and tennis pro, the late Jerry McConnell conducted a free, very popular, 90-minute tennis clinic. Previously held at the Creekside Tennis Complex, the clinic is now held on Court 1 and 2 at the Buckeye Tennis Complex and is overseen by Eugene Ovalle.
This event has proven very popular and has given many beginning players and those new to Rossmoor an introduction to tennis at Rossmoor. This event is open to all Rossmoor residents and their accompanied guests. You need NOT be an RTC member to attend, do NOT need to sign up, and WILL be warmly welcomed by Eugene Ovalle (Tennis Instructor), and a number of the Wednesday Tennis Clinic loyal attendees. This event is conducted year-round (weather permitting) each Wednesday morning from 10:00 AM until approximately 11:30 AM on Court 1 at the Buckeye Tennis Complex.
How The Clinic Works
Using courts 1 and 2, Eugenio Ovalle conducts tennis classes for the first half of the clinic for all player levels. Periodically Eugene rotates through the fundamentals of tennis in a series of lessons over 10 weeks [see below]. Other times, waiting players are queued by Eugene according to a variety of factors which allows attending players to meet and play with several different people each Wednesday morning. It is not only a tennis clinic where you can improve your game, it is really an easy-going, fun social morning.
Why We Love It
This event has welcomed countless players into the Rossmoor tennis community. Old timers value this event because it doesn't require sign-ups, doesn't require locating subs, is always enjoyable, and because its a valued Rossmoor tennis tradition. Now the clinic offers free tennis lessons for beginners looking to learn the fundamentals as well as more experienced players looking to hone their game. Come on out, you'll enjoy it.

Tennis - Tennis Instruction
RTC Tennis Instruction
The club has made voluntary arrangements with a number of individuals to provide instructional and coaching services to interested Rossmoor residents. Each of these individuals has been approved by the RTC board. Each of these individuals has their own guidelines (within the RTC guidelines below), fee structure, etc. They may be contacted directly.
Tennis professionals / instructors:
- Sherry Endicott 1-925-938-0934
- Frank Haswell 1-925-954-1716
- Eugenio Ovalle 1-925-932-6551
Guidelines for RTC Tennis Professionals.
- Our tennis instructors recognize that it is our desire to allow MULTIPLE individuals to provide instruction and/or coaching services to our members and that we do NOT wish to make an exclusive arrangement with any ONE individual for this purpose.
- Our tennis instructors agree to offer their services to ALL ROSSMOOR RESIDENTS, not just RTC members.
- Our tennis instructors are aware of our strict policy of non-solicitation of RTC members or residents. They may use the information in our RTC Tennis Directory to facilitate communication with individuals who have initiated contact with them, but EMPHATICALLY NOT for the purpose of 'postal mailing', 'cold telephone calling' or 'cold emailing' to RTC members or other Rossmoor residents representing themselves as an RTC tennis instructor.
- Some have observed that tennis instruction with it's use of many balls and ongoing instructional conversation may be inappropriate on our courts 3,4,5 & 6. We have asked our tennis professionals to make every attempt to schedule their lessons and coaching sessions onto the four enclosed courts (courts 1,2,7, & 8).
- Some have observed that a lesson is equivalent to a single person using a court. NOT SO --- it's the same thing as a Rossmoor resident inviting a non-resident guest to use a court for regular play. It's equivalent to one Rossmoor resident setting up a regular game, (it's two or more people using a court).
- One difference to be noted is that a court may only be reserved for ONE HOUR for tennis-pro instructional purposes, regardless of how many students are participating.
