Tennis Philly
Whether you’re short on cash — who has a country club budget this year, right? — or short on friends looking to swing a racket, you can still test your serve against area players. Tennis Philly has divisions arranged by skill level so everyone can find a playing partner, whether you’re a future Roger Federer or looking for a new way to break a sweat. Best of all, there’s flexible scheduling so even if you’re calendar is packed, you can still find time to squeeze in a match. Once you register, a list of similarly skilled opponents will be sent to you so you can contact possible court buddies to find a match time — public access courts are most often used, but any available court will do.

Cost: $29.95
Next Season: Aug. 19th – Oct. 11th
Registration Deadline: Aug 18th

Casa Soccer
Local non-profit Casa Soccer offers local foot-ballers an opportunity to hone their skills in an organized setting. The volunteer-run league started out in 2006 with just eight teams, but has quickly expanded. This year’s spring season had 36 teams in four different skill-level divisions. Games are held weekly in Northeast Philly, and teams feature both homegrown talent as well as players from around the globe.

Cost: Approximately $1,300 per team (min. of 15 players), $50-80 per player
Next Season: Week of Aug. 29th – Week of Oct. 31st
Registration Deadline: Aug. 22nd  
Locations: Pennypack Park & Philadelphia Soccer Club’s Agusta Field
