Do you play tennis? I don’t. But my friend Katy does, and she’s asked me to post this call to arms (and legs too):

Members of friendly Ferndale tennis group, “Da Fennis Klub,” are more likely to wear tennis blacks than tennis whites (”when there’s peace on earth, we’ll change”), and they want to test out their serves on you. The rules: show up, be nice, and have fun.

Through the summer, the group plays 2x weekly at Detroit’s Palmer Park and Ferndale High School courts. A ladder system ensures that everyone gets points and the matches stay competitive. Now that it’s fall, the matches are petering out, but informal, pick-up games are all the rage (so is replenishing your sweat with $2 beers at the W.A.B. afterward).

To get in the game simply show up from 5-7 pm at the Ferndale High School courts. For more info, email: fennisklub@gmail.com

CORRECTION: Sorry about not mentioning the date. Thanks Homer. Tennis ensues Sundays through October 21.
