Explanation of the dinking game:
During the Dinkathon, all games are played using dinks and players stand at the kitchen line for the duration of the game.  The game begins by serving cross court into the opponent’s kitchen.  Players then rally back and forth by hitting their shots into the opponent’s kitchen.  The rally ends when a player either hits a ball into the net or hits their shot outside the kitchen area. Games are played to 11.  We will provide a demonstration of the dinking game before the tournament starts.  

This is a game where everyone has a chance to win.  Equal footing for women against men or mixed partners.

Show us your skill and your patience!
