The upstairs balcony overlooks all the courts and includes a kitchen for social gatherings. Downstairs, you have a nice bathroom, sauna, and private work out area--with personal training and development available. The staff is really the muscle of this place. Friendly, accommodating, and pure, unbridled passion for tennis and community, come to mind. Lovely ladies and men. If you're not feeling the vibe or pace of Four Seasons, Gold's, or LA, come to Evergreen Tennis. Not just to play the great game of tennis, but to have fun while working out your mind and body. Update: 1/23/18 I've been working closely with one of the Tennis Pros at the club, Roger. He's a great instructor--with a wealth of knowledge, applicable techniques, and insight to the game. I've made great strides as a beginner, but have a leg-up being a left-hander and 25 years of soccer and basketball experience. Everyone is always friendly at the club. I love coming here!

I don't even know how many fields they have here, but it's a lot... and a lot of different sized fields for different ages. Despite our drought this summer, the fields held up very nicely, and the grassy areas seem to be taken care of. There's not much else to it - no concession stands, a couple of porta-potties, and a gravel parking lot. Also, be careful... getting in and out can be a bit tricky, as the speed limit on the cross-road is 55.

So many hugs. So much excitement. And if you're me, many tears to be shed as well. There are many ways that people of all ages can volunteer their time here. So many opportunities that could fit every personality or temperament. You can help run events, officiate games, keep scores, be a "shuffler" -helping move participants along, help judge, hand out awards, or even just be a cheerleader with hugs, high fives, and fist bumps. -the participants love those! I used to volunteer for things like this because I felt I should "give back" since my life has been so blessed. But in time, I've come to realize that I should help with events such as this because I have much to learn from these participants. With insurmountable personal trials and limitations, they often show such generous spirit and love for every person they cross paths with. They both encourage their opponents and high five the ones who beat them. They more often than not happily accept their 5th place ribbon and wear them with pride. After congratulating an athlete after he won the gold in one of the field events, I commented to him that he was so lucky to have a gold and that I'd never won one before. He embraced me warmly and then said "That's okay! Do you know why? You don't need gold to be happy." Profoundly said. No, indeed you do not need gold (or riches) to be happy. PS: Be sure to bring sunglasses to hide your crying eyes. YOU try keeping a dry eye when you place a medal around a gleeful 10 yr old's neck with the Olympic theme song booming and her proud family beaming on the sidelines!!

They now have two 11-station courses plus a 6-target 5-stand. Atmosphere is very casual and friendly. They frequently host charity events, bringing in $1000s for Easter Seals, St Jude, MS, and others. It's always a good time to shoot sporting clays at Oak Ridge. This has been a tough year for them financially because of the governor-dictated COVID-19 shutdown which, IMO, makes as much sense as closing golf courses and fishing lakes. Hoping they'll survive.

I have to say that this was a wayyyy better location than ISU. The bleachers at ISU are so awkward and you're always crawling over and tripping over people. The Shirk center observing area is upstairs and goes around the pool. There was lots of room to stand and a few areas to sit down. It did get extremely congested and people refused to move, but still way better than the alternative. There was also a concession stand, vending machines and an ATM. The only downside was that it was extremely hot inside and I felt like I was getting heatstroke (even despite the fact that I prepared myself for the heat by wearing a tank top and skirt - I was still overly hot.) Sitting next to people that are also sweating isn't exactly an ideal situation, but I gladly endured the stench of sweat to see my sister swim.
