   Challenge Doubles
This is a popular event during many weekends in April through October. We gather at one large venue to play a social, yet competitive doubles tournament in a format that allows many different playing levels to play in the same event.
There are two formats that we use, either based on doubles-teams that stay together throughout the event or the TennisLink Challenge Doubles format (you can read more about it here, but it is just easier to experience it).

The event is by invitation only and dedicated to our friends. It is not a commercial venture, we rarely break-even, and we do not attempt to generate a net income from it. While it is reserved for our friends, we sometimes welcome a newcomer to our event.

If you are interested in participating in a “Challenge Doubles” and you are new to the TennisLink family, please fill out your contact information at our Contact web page or contact us via phone or e-mail.

Please understand that this is intended as an invitation-only event, and we will only accept a maximum of 1-2 newcomers per event.

Please also note our legal disclaimer and fine-print. Notwithstanding that this is a fiends-only event, you agree our Terms of Service when you participate in any of our events.
