by Mark E. HancockThe Mens 4.0 Tennis Team from the Ventura Tennis Club recently won the County and heads to USTA Sectional Competition at Los Caballeros Tennis Club in Fullerton in August.

League Tennis, a popular program through the United States Tennis Association, pits teams against each other in area competition, with the area winner advancing to face winning teams from other areas. There are leagues for different levels of ability, leagues for men, women and combined teams. Tennis played on a team basis introduces a spirit of friendly competition and comraderie into the game. There are always snacks and refreshments afterward. Check out usta.com.In Ventura County, teams come from private clubs and from public courts.There are home games and away games. One of the enjoyable things about league tennis is the chance to travel to and compete at other clubs and parks, such as North Ranch, Pacific, Pierpont, Spanish Hills, Sunset, the Ojai Athletic Club and the Westlake Swim and Tennis Club.The Ventura Tennis Club is based at the public tennis courts at Camino Real Park in Ventura. Check out venturatennisclub.com.Interestingly, although the private clubs are certainly respectable and always competitive, they don't dominate at present. Another strong set of teams, for example, hails from the public courts in Moorpark and the public Oxnard Tennis Center has been strong.
