Platform Tennis - The Winnetka Platform Tennis Club (WPTC)

Visit the Winnetka Paddle Club at : www.winnetkapaddle.com

The Winnetka Platform Tennis Club (WPTC) works to promote and develop platform tennis in the community and serves over 275 members. The WPTC is the largest user of the Park District facility, accounting for over 80 percent of the court time used. Our programs range from social to competitive. There are men’s and women’s teams, tournaments, social functions, and mixed couple events. The WPTC encourages new members to get involved in these exciting programs. If there is a wait list for new club members, a Park District resident who expresses an interest in joining before June 15 has priority over a non-resident.

WPTC members are automatically members of the American Platform Tennis Association. Check the APTA website, www.platformtennis.org, and the North Shore Women’s Platform Tennis League (NSWPTL) at www.nspaddle@theramp.net. The website for Chicago Paddle Tennis Men and Women is www.reveregroup.com/paddle.
