The IRVINE TENNIS ASSOCIATION (ITA) is a non-profit corporation of volunteers which was formed in 1979 by a group of Irvine, California residents to promote active, competitive and social tennis for people within the community.
ITA sponsors two teams in the women’s Sundowner Tennis League. This league plays on Monday evenings in Orange County from September through May. The association was started to give working women an opportunity to play league tennis. There are single and doubles matches for 3.0 to 5.0 level players. New players can be added to the roster in August and January. If you are interested in regular or substitute play, please contact Helena Ferrari 714-401-3383 for Moonlighters (3.0 – 4.0) or Karen Grams 949-457-0691 for Evening Stars (4.0 – 5.0).
UPDATE: Helena is looking for additional 4.0 players and Karen may need a 5.0 or 4.5. Contact them by 8/12 to be considered for this year's roster!
Tuesday Night Mens Doubles
16 men compete every Tuesday evening at 7:00pm at Heritage Park in round robin doubles matches. They have six week handicap competition with accolades awarded during a pizza and beer party after play. This is a popular activity and the 16 regular spots are usually filled. If you are interested in being added to the sub list, please call Charlie Niles at 949-454-1626.
Friday Night Mixed Doubles
On the second and last Friday of each month at Heritage Park at 7:00pm. Teams move through round robin playing 8 game no-add sets until we have played everyone or get tired. This is a social group that has enough courts to handle sixteen players. Call Trung Nguyen at 714-965-6729 if you interested in playing on Friday evening.
Sunday Afternoon Tennis
Four courts are reserved at Woodbridge High School courts from 2:00—5:00pm every Sunday afternoon for the Irvine Tennis Association. Play is more informal but still very competitive. Some of our best players are regulars. It is a good time for Ladder play. For more information contact Ray Ng at 949-651-0621.
