[quote=Anonymous]I got really into tennis when I lived in Dallas (fabulous tennis weather!) but then moved to another city and it broke my heart. I went from feeling like you, OP, completely addicted and fantasizing about tennis camps and running away just to play tennis. But then I tried to break into local tennis leagues and encountered catty nastiness, gatekeeping, cliques, etc. I think I’m on a permanent waitlist to join a team that’s not even a real waitlist! So I backed off and settle for occasional clinics and classes. But I still encounter some of the people obsessed with keeping tennis as just their thing, and have concluded that I need to either get my rating up to something ridiculous like 4.5 or find a way to pretend to be a beginner. I’m looking for an equally satisfying hobby that’s more welcoming.[/quote]
