Fall Flex Season

**How does a TennisEastBay Season / League run?** The league advertises the season dates and builds a queue of committed players for the season. **Kickoff Day - Sept. 18th** The start day of the season, players are sent a kickoff email that contains important information about the league, the link where your league standings and players contact information. We guarantee 6 playing partners at your playing level, but have been averaging closer to 15+ partners in most cities. The number of different levels we run is solely based upon the number of players enrolled for the league kickoff. Typically we are running a Skilled-3.0, Competitive-3.5 and Advanced-4.0 in most cities. **Your Task - "Flexible Scheduling"** After this kickoff email is sent, it is the **player's task to communicate with other players**. Players should work with their partners to find an agreeable time and location to play the match. While TennisEastBay doesn't mandate your playing schedule, it is recommended that players schedule at least one match per week. By request of the players, we started to allow players to play 1 rematch per season. The regular season is all about playing as much as you can. As of Feb. 10, 2026 we've had an amazing 2,017 players play more than [20 matches in a season](https://www.tenniseastbay.com/info/MatchesInSeason). **Where to Play?** Play at your local free tennis courts, tennis parks, condo courts or tennis clubs. The league strongly suggests that players jointly try to pick a tennis court location convenient to both. We provide an extensive list of [tennis courts](https://www.tenniseastbay.com/TennisCourts), including # of courts, lighting, hitting walls, etc. We strive to keep this list up-to-date. TennisEastBay sets up a must play dates to push players out on the courts. The final deadline is the date marking the end of the season, at which point players with 3-5 wins (Actually total is specified on the division page) will qualify for a post-season playoff to determine the league champion. **How to Play?** Players can use three mostly standard playing formats: 2 out of 3 sets, 2 sets with 10 point super tie-breaker or the 10-game pro set (First to 10, used when court time is limited). On Feb. 2018, we added Fast Tennis 4 game pro set format as a valid format. **Playoffs** Each season concludes with a playoffs where players with anywhere from 3 to 5 season wins qualifies for a single elimination tourney. The champion is awarded based upon the league [Prize Pool](https://www.tenniseastbay.com/info/prize_pool3). Each singles league champion also receives a playing entry into one of two national championships we run. **[JOIN TODAY](https://www.tenniseastbay.com/join)** Full price is $39.95 to play in a season. The earlier you sign up we typically offer discounts during these tough economic times. Just go to the [Join Page](https://www.tenniseastbay.com/join) and complete the short form.

Directed by Academy Award-winning filmmaker Jonathan Demme, the film captures the Talking Heads at their electrifying peak, filmed over three unforgettable nights at Hollywood's Pantages Theater in December 1983. Fronted by David Byrne, Tina Weymouth, Chris Frantz, and Jerry Harrison, the band is joined onstage by Bernie Worrell, Alex Weir, Steve Scales, Lynn Mabry, and Edna Holt for a performance that builds from a stripped-down solo into a full, joyous ensemble. This restoration brings new life and clarity to a landmark moment in music film history — as vital and thrilling today as it was when it premiered. 🍒 The historic 4 Star Theater is a beloved, independently run neighborhood cinema in San Francisco's Richmond District that blends vintage 1913 architectural details and charm with indie films and live music events. ▪︎ **Meet at 6:15 sharp** at the 4 Star Theater (2200 Clement) ▪︎ **PLEASE don't be a no-show.** If your plans change, remember to update your RSVP prior to the event. ▪︎ **A last-minute cancellation** will count as a no-show.
