Membership growing...Since January 2011 we have grown from five players to a membership of thirty-five. Many more people have tried it, talked about coming, or have watched us play. Membership is $10 per year. That helps pay for balls & nets. This time next year who knows we could have 50 players.

More courts needed...Club goals are to find facilities on the south side of OKC and to find a facility for night time play. Many potential players have expressed that they are still working and can't play during the day. If anyone can help with this problem please call one of the two contact people listed on website.
