- Welcome to the 2026 season -
*** RE THE SEGER COURTS RESERVATION SYSTEM ***
The Philadelphia Parks and Recreation Department has made a decision to allow for an open court system at Seger Park to align with the other courts in the system.
The courts reservation system will be suspended for the upcoming year.
During this time, the courts will be open to everyone and no reservations will be accepted or honored.
The open court system will go into effect April 1, 2026.
Please use the courts for a maximum of one hour to maximize the number of patrons who would like to use the courts at Seger Park.
Thank you for your cooperation.

The purpose of a challenge ladder is to allow all tennis players, from the beginning novice to the serious, experienced player, to meet and play other tennis enthusiasts at their own skill levels. Whether you play only occasionally, "just for fun," or prefer to compete several times a week, you can meet others at your level. You will also have the opportunity to improve your play by challenging others who are slightly more advanced.
You MUST also have a Seger Courts Reservations membership to reserve courts at Seger.
MATCH FORMAT:
*Short warm up, no more than 5 minutes (due to the one hour reservation limit).*"PRO SET" format. Winner is the first person to win 8 games.*"NO-AD" scoring.
MERCY RULE: If one player has won the first 5 games, then the Mercy Rule may be used if both players agree to conclude the match.
If time runs out, the person in the lead wins the match. If there is a tie, make ASAP arrangements to conclude the match.
Please send your match results to webmaster@segerparktennis.com .
