Our Social Tennis League offers the opportunity for young professionals ages 21-40 throughout New England to meet new people through the game of tennis. This league is a great way to improve your skills or get back into tennis in a fun, social environment. Teams are co-ed and matches are scheduled once per week. The first night of each season is a fun hit around night so players can get some practice in before matches start. Each league session concludes with awards and prizes given out to the winning teams and captains. 

Spring session runs from May to June.

Summer session runs from July to August.

Fall session runs from September to October.

Registration for each session will open about a month before the start of the leagues.

Registration Details

Once registration opens, click the link for the site you want to register for. If you are a new player to our league, make sure you have your USTA login set up in advance here (it is free and you don't need a USTA membership to play). 

If the registration page for your desired site says "Course Unavailable" that means that site is currently full -- please email us to be entered into the lottery. We will be designating 10% of spots in the Boston area leagues to the lottery (sites are denoted with a * below). The lottery will be drawn on Monday, August 8 at 12pm and you will be notified by email if you were selected for a league. You may enter the lottery for multiple sites. If you were able to register for a league, you may also email us to be put on the waitlist for a second site.

Email socialtennis@newengland.usta.com to enter the lottery.
