Little advertised but an awesome program for playing tennis during Michigan's colder months. The program is run by Ann Arbor Ski Club. There are three sessions: fall, winter, and spring. They last approximately 10, 10, and 8 weeks, respectively. The fall session starts in middle September, the winter session starts in January and the spring session - in March. The games are played at Chippewa Tennis Club.

The 2005 fall session runs from Sept 17/18 to November 19/20. The winter session is planned from January 7/8 to March 11/12 and the spring session from March 18/19 to May 6/7. This fall session is filled up and the winter session sign-up info will be posted later.

There are two groups: the Saturday group plays on Saturdays at 6pm and the Sunday group plays on Sunday at 6.00pm and 7.30pm. The play is doubles, the duration of one game is 1.5 hours.The players range from beginners or getting-back-into-it (NTRP 2.5) to advanced (NTRP 4.0). The Saturday group can be up to 24 players and plays mixed doubles and mixes the players so that everybody gets to play with everybody. The Sunday group is larger (up to 48 players) and players are assigned to the courts according to a skill-based ladder. The Sunday group has also started as mixed doubles, but recently switched to playing mixed-up (equal footing for both genders) doubles.
