While I consider the ability to travel a great blessing, I have to admit that certain complications typically ensue as a result of being away from home. One of those challenges can be how to continue your workout routine when on the road (especially as a tennis player). While I don’t have specific recommendations for how to alleviate this situation in all cities, I can provide some assistance when it comes to Seattle, Washington.
The Amy Yee Tennis Center offers year-round opportunities to play tennis on their 10 indoor courts and accommodates numerous differing formats. You have a partner already lined up? Their reservation system has got you covered. Are you in town for a bit and searching for a partner? Check out their signup sheet (sorted by ability level and Singles/Doubles preference). Is a private lesson more your style? Just give them a call and they’ll make those arrangements for you. None of those options work for you? Well they also have 2 ball machines that can be reserved and stand at the ready.
All of the costs associated with your choice of play are reasonable and a traditional membership at this facility is not required.
The courts, locker room, and viewing areas are all well maintained, the facility is only about a 15 minute drive from most downtown hotels, and I found the staff attentive and helpful during the reservation process and during my visit.
And that’s…Henry’s Take.
