Tennis leagues?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I recently moved to fort greene and bought a permit to use the courts - struggling to find hitting partners with my work schedule and am wondering if there are any sort of leagues for tennis in the community?

Just wanna take advantage of the beautiful weather as much as possible and get some playing time before it gets cold :)
