As we head into the summer months, we’re reminded that Cross Court is more than just a place to play, it’s a community. Whether you’re booking a court, joining a league, or just stopping by for a hit, every visit helps keep the club strong, vibrant, and growing.
Summer can be a busy season for everyone, but your continued support makes a real difference and we’ve got some fun things in the works to make it worth your while. Think exciting events, new ways to play, and a few surprises we can’t wait to share.
Stay tuned… summer at Cross Court is going to be a good one.

Drop-Ins Are Thriving
Drop-ins continue to be one of the best ways to get quality games in.
Get extra reps, meet players, test things you’ve been working on.
If you haven’t used drop-ins much, try adding one per week. It’s one of the fastest ways to improve.
Book early. Many sessions fill.
Skills and Drills
If you’ve been plateauing, this is your sign.
Playing helps.
Drilling changes your game.
These sessions focus on intentional reps and patterns you may not get enough of in regular play.
Bedford – Tuesdays 5:00 PM
Dartmouth – Wednesdays 9:00 AM
Highly recommended if you want to level up.

Booking Reminder
A quick reminder:
Court bookings and programming open on a rolling 7-day basis.
If there’s something popular you want, plan ahead and log in when booking opens.
And after booking, check your schedule in the app to make sure it landed properly.
That small habit saves headaches.
Housekeeping
Quick club reminders:
• Please be off court before the hour so the next group can start on time
• Use recycling and garbage bins properly
• Don’t leave water bottles or wrappers behind
• Help keep the facility looking great
We all benefit from a well-kept club.
Community Matters
A lot of clubs have courts.
Not every club has community.
That part is built by the people who show up, welcome others in, compete hard, laugh often, and keep it fun.
That’s what makes Cross Court special.
Keep inviting.
Keep improving.
Keep supporting each other.
And as always, Choose kindness.
See you on court,
Cross Court Team
