ANN ARBOR PLATFORM
TENNIS CLUB
What is platform tennis?
This is an outdoor game played with a
short-handled paddle and sponge rubber
ball. The court is 1/3 the size of a regular
tennis court on an elevated platform that is
surrounded by a 12 foot fence. It is scored
like tennis, but balls can be played of the
screens like racquetball. It is primarily a
doubles game, teamwork between partners
is an important feature.
The regular season runs from October
through April, although our members often
play through out the year.
What is the AAPTC?
The Ann Arbor Platform Tennis Club owns
and maintains 4 courts on the property of
Huron Valley Tennis Club. Membership in
the AAPTC includes unlimited use of the
platform tennis courts
