What is FLEX League?

USTA NorCal FLEX league is organized tennis designed with your schedule in mind in a social, stress-free environment. Play against similar-rated adult players in your area at your convenience. You set the time and location of matches.

 

How it Works

  • Register for singles (doubles and mixed doubles offered in some areas)
  • We group you with local, similarly-rated players and generate your personal schedule.
  • You communicate with your opponent via the USTA Flex app to set the time and location of your matches. (Your phone number, email address and mailing address are all kept private.)
  • Complete each match before the end of the season.
  • That's it!

 

Why Play FLEX?

  • More Play: Improve your game.
  • It's Flexible:  Set the time and location of matches. You call the shots.
  • Extra Practice: FLEX doesn’t count towards NTRP ratings so you can play stress-free. Matches played count for your WTN rating.
  • It's Social: Meet new people in your area that are also at your skill level.
  • Great Deal: You get more matches for your money with FLEX.
