Red Ball Tennis
Palm Creek Tennis Club received a USTA grant in 2026 to expand our Red Ball Tennis program. Red Ball Tennis is the perfect entry point for beginners and a fantastic, lower-impact alternative for experienced players looking for a gentler pace on a smaller court. Red tennis balls were specifically designed to help players more quickly grasp the fundamentals of the game. Because the tennis balls are at a lower compression, they bounce lower to the ground, which makes it easier for players to swing and hit them back over the net. They are perfect for a friendly competition.
2026/27 Red Ball Schedule TBA
Bumbee Ball-Equal parts social and active
Bumbee Ball is played on the tennis courts with up to 12 players on each court.
It is played with a Red Foam ball slightly larger than a regular tennis ball
It is a non-competitive sport and requires no racquet experience. Bumbee Ball was designed for active, casual fun. It’s a chance to get out and spend time with friends, get some exercise, and share some laughs. We want everyone to feel comfortable and not feel intimidated by aggressive play. We would appreciate everyone’s cooperation in keeping this a fun, friendly, “Back Yard” “Fourth of July”, kind of game.
Bumbee Ball is played Wednesday and Sunday at 2pm (2026/27 start date TBA)
Upcoming 2026/2027 Club Events
After a summer hiatus, we come back to life in September. Courts are washed, new nets are installed and windscreens are in place to shade our walkways and provide a backdrop to enhance ball visibility.
