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

and Women is www.reveregroup.com/paddle.
