New England Social Tennis League

Instructional Course: This program offers instruction from a coach as a way to get started before playing Social League. This program is best for those who have never picked up a racquet before or who want to learn the fundamentals of tennis.

Beginner: For players who want a league atmosphere but aren't ready for our recreational level (2.0-2.5 NTRP). Improve your skills by playing short-court tennis with modified equipment -- the easiest way to learn tennis!

Recreational: This is our most popular and most social league! Open to all playing levels but primarily for lower to mid-level players (2.5 to 3.5 NTRP ratings). This level is great for players new to our league. You must be able to serve, rally, and keep score at a minimum.

Intermediate: This level is for higher-level players (3.5 or 4.0 NTRP ratings) that want to be social but also want solid, more competitive matches. This is the level for most former high school or college club or varsity players.

Advanced: This division is for our highest-level players (4.0 to 5.0 NTRP ratings) and while still social, the focus is on high-quality tennis. This would be ideal for a high-level former college club or varsity player.
