TOURNAMENTS
The River Forest Tennis Club has dozens of singles and doubles competitive tennis events and social tennis events. As an Active Member or Adult Privilege Holder, players can come out and join the competition and fun. A tournament is a series that takes place over the course of several weeks, while games are played in a single day.
