The tennis

Le tennisThe tennis is one of the main sports activities at Punta Cana. It is located next to the archery. There are 14 courts (8 hard and 6 soft). You can play all over the day since some of the courts have some lights (the night comes at 6 PM at Punta Cana).

One hour lessons are given every day (in the morning and in the afternoon). You have three levels : beginner, intermediate and advanced.

The GO team has between 3 and 4 members depending on the season. In December 2007, there was Gaelle (the manager, french), Raymond (from Haïti, very friendly) and Ashley (from Chicago, a bit shy at the beginning but very friendly when you start to know her).

Tournaments are organized at 4:45 PM almost every day. Depending on the day, you have : double, mixed double, surprise double, single and davis cup. The surprise double is very funny because you play each game with a different player. It allows to level the games and to meet new players.

For the sports addicts, the tennis is an inescapable place in the resort. There is usually very good players. Finally, the only problem is the rain because when it rains, the activity closes for few hours (the time required for the courts to dry). The good thing is that it doesn’t rain every day.
