What is Singles Playing Doubles? How does it work?
Singles Playing Doubles is a unique social event that combines tennis x dating. It is specially designed for singles who want to learn tennis, and who also want to meet potential matches in a fun, active environment!
For more details on how it works, check out the intro.
How long is the program? What's the weekly time commitment?
Great questions! We all lead busy lives 🙃.
The program is 3 weeks long, alongside your normal life in Singapore. We ask for a commitment of 3-5 hours per week (including tennis sessions and fringe activities). But of course, we hope that you'd meet people who'd make you lose track of time entirely 😉!

Do I need to travel out of Singapore?
Nope! Singles Playing Doubles is designed to fit alongside your normal busy life in Singapore. It's not designed to be a fully immersive program / retreat.
Where will the tennis sessions be held?
As much as possible, somewhere central! Depending on availability and weather, we may potentially be in different locations through the program. We will certainly let everyone know the confirmed locations ahead of time!
Do I need to be good at tennis to join?
Nope, beginners to intermediates are welcome!
We are primarily catering the program to a range of tennis skills, from people who have never played tennis or have just started learning, to those with a bit more experience. That said, the skill level we can take for a given season depends on the level of the others in the group - that may differ between seasons.
At the end of the day, it's all about having fun and connecting with others who share a love for tennis!
Do I need to be single? Can I bring a friend?
Yes, please. We ask that only single individuals sign up!
Your friends are certainly welcome to sign up separately. Talk to us about it!
How much does Singles Playing Doubles cost?
Please check out our latest pricing, as well as what's included in our simple, all-in-one package. Meaning, everything (tennis sessions, group fringe activities, etc) are all included in the package price!
Do you accept credit card payment, or PayNow? Is a deposit needed?
Yes! We accept both online card payment, or PayNow, through Stripe: a secure third-party payment gateway (we don't collect or store any of your payment information). We hope this gives you the most miles convenience!
Full payment is needed upon invite, to confirm your spot in the upcoming season.
Sounds great! How can I register?
Just fill in our online form, and we'll get back to you if there's a good fit!
Do I need my own racket? What do I need for the tennis sessions?
If you have your own tennis racket, please feel free to bring it! If not, we'll provide basic rackets for everyone - they're not going to be the latest models though 🙃.
We'll be providing tennis balls and other coaching equipment, as well as fitness drinks. Please bring your own:
What do I need for the group activities?
Nothing special other than your existing fitness (and normal) clothes! We'll update you on each activity closer to the date.
What if I don't like certain people in my group?
We're committed to putting in the effort to carefully select individuals before the season kicks off, to ensure a great group dynamic. However, in the unlikely event that you feel uncomfortable with any individuals during the sessions, please let us know, and we'll work with you to address it discreetly as needed.
That said, sometimes love doesn't happen at first sight - so we ask that you keep an open mind too!
What if I can't commit to all sessions? Do I get a refund?
We respectfully ask that you commit to all the included sessions in the program, since maintaining an equal gender ratio is critical to the experience of the whole group. In exchange, you'd be able to count on the new people you've just met to also be present every week! 😁
That said, of course we understand that sometimes, life happens. Chat with us, and we'll try to figure something out.
What happens if it rains?
During the rainy season at year-end, we'll try our best to book indoor courts, to minimize the need to reschedule.
Rest of the year, we'll book either indoor or outdoor courts and if it rains, try to shift the session to another day that week, in close-communication with the group, of course. We ask for your understanding and to help us accommodate these changes due to weather!
Will you post photos of me on social media?
We know this may be a sensitive point for some people, and we respect that! We won't post identifiable close-ups of individuals on social media without your explicit consent. We want everyone to feel that they're in a safe environment to be their relaxed selves.
That said, we may post blurred or otherwise unindentifiable photos such as this for promotional purposes. We'll also be taking photos and videos for our own memories, and encourage you to as well!
Do you guarantee that I'll meet a partner by the end?
Haha, unfortunately we can't guarantee this, but we'll put in our utmost effort to design the group and the sessions to maximize everyone's chances!
My curiosity's still on fire - who's the best person to ask?
