USTA League is the country’s largest recreational tennis league, helping more than 800,000 participants nationwide get on the court, have a good time, and step up their game. Leagues are organized for competitive team match play.  

 

Teams are made up of a minimum of five to eight players, depending on the league type.  Teams and matches are set up according to NTRP ratings, so your teammates and opponents will be at similar skill levels.  The competition is exciting, the atmosphere is social, and since players compete on teams, you have a built-in cheering section.  

 

USTA League tennis features local play, with winning teams advancing to sectional championships and for certain League types, to a national championship*.

 

Here in the Southwest we have the benefit of terrific year-round opportunities for play in almost all of our areas!
