Welcome to the GMTA '25/'26 Winter Adult Tennis Nights at John Powless Tennis Center!
The Powless Tennis Nights will be held from 6 PM until 10:30 PM. There will be six sessions throughout the evening, each session running 45 minutes in length.
Please familiarize yourself with the GMTA Tennis Night Policies and Procedures to help make the evening proceed smoothly for everyone!
Here is an excerpt from the GMTA P&P:
GMTA TENNIS NIGHTS PARTICIPATION:
It is GMTA’s policy and belief, in all programming, to provide equal participation opportunities without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age*, disability, marital status, veteran status, sexual orientation, genetic information or any other protected characteristic under applicable law.
*Given the participant otherwise meets the Tennis Night minimum age requirement
By agreeing to register, pay and play in the GMTA Tennis Night(s), participants assume the risks of participation, along with agreement to GMTA Policies/Procedures and Release Clause.
Participation is open, upon payment, to GMTA members and non-members.
Participants of all levels (using the USTA NTRP as guidelines) are welcome.
Participants must pay and register before participating in the Tennis Night.
Participants must be 18 years or older; high school participants must have both maturity and adult supervision on site, 14 year old participants - with both maturity and strong enough skill set to play with adults - must have a parent or guardian playing on the court, along with GMTA permission. GMTA believes that our younger participants having supervision provides safety, guidance and redirection if needed. Players 13 or younger are welcome to participate in GMTA Youth Programs (MYTT), but are not allowed to participate in the Tennis Nights.
Participants are highly encouraged to sign up on a court with players of similar abilities, unless the number of court slots prevents the grouping of similar levels. GMTA believes players of similar levels sharing a court provides a more enjoyable and competitive match alignment. GMTA reserves the right to adjust the player court sign up sheets before/during the Tennis Night sessions to reflect a more equal balance in player ability/levels.
Participants may not go onto a court before the scheduled time, unless permission is given from the facility staff AND there are no facility members/guests already on the court.
Tennis Night participants are expected to practice civility and kindness to other participants both on and off the court.
GMTA reserves the right to prohibit a player from joining the Tennis Night, or asking that player to leave the facility, for not following the aforementioned policies. A player consistently not following the aforementioned policies could result in: being banned from future GMTA Tennis Nights; banned from all GMTA programming; and/or GMTA rescinding that player’s membership, with all fees/dues being forfeit.
