Racquets at Dorset Field Club
Tennis
Tennis players of all levels enjoy the atmosphere and depth of the Dorset Field Club tennis program. Members enjoy six clay courts, a pro shop, and an enthusiastic Director of Tennis, Steve Dahm. Steve is an excellent teacher for students of all ages and levels! Tournaments and clinics are well attended and open play is always welcome.
Paddle Tennis
Platform Tennis, or as it is more commonly known, Paddle Tennis, is a unique American racquet sport considered to be one of the fastest growing sports in the club community. Enjoyed by players of all ages, it is the only racquet sport that was created to be played outdoors in cold winter climates. This sport, which is traditionally only played in a doubles format, is extremely popular with the DFC membership and promotes active competition and social engagement. The club hosts a number of tournaments each year, as well as a club championship. The DFC paddle community also hosts a series of social gatherings and pot-luck suppers. Our programming includes professional instruction for group and individual lessons and clinics for all ages and levels.
Players of all levels are encouraged to come outdoors in the winter to experience the thrill and excitement of paddle, enjoy the benefits of rigorous exercise, and appreciate the camaraderie that paddle offers.
