Playing Tennis in South Reno
South Reno sits at the same ~4,500 foot elevation as the rest of the city, which means the ball travels faster and bounces higher than at sea level. The area also gets the full force of the Washoe Zephyr afternoon winds. Our community recommendations:
Play before 11:00 AM when possible. The Washoe Zephyr peaks between 2:00 PM and 5:00 PM — morning sessions are dramatically calmer and better for learning or practice. If you need evening play, Double Diamond Athletic Club and Caughlin Athletic Club both have lighted courts.
