Summer Tennis Leagues!

This year's Summer Tennis League will continue with the re-vamped format; the new divisions are easier to decipher if players do not have a USTA rating. 

Three divisions include: 

  • Summer Tennis League: Recreational
    June 3-August 11 (Optional season-ending tournament - more details at a later date)
    $12R/$18NR
    Recreational - This division is for players who want to improve their match play and tennis skills including hitting accuracy, speed on the court, and serving. Score will be kept during play, but reporting will be optional in this division for each individual/team. This division would be comparable to players who are around levels 2.5-3 on the USTA rating system.
     
  • Summer Tennis League: Intermediate
    June 3-August 11 (Optional season-ending tournament - more details at a later date)
    $12R/$18NR
     This division is for players who want to play competitively, but who may still be working on hitting accuracy and improving serves. Players in this division are fairly consistent, with moderate ball control. This division would be comparable to players who are around levels 3-3.5 on the USTA rating system.
     
  • Summer Tennis League: Competitive
    June 3-August 11 (Optional season-ending tournament - more details at a later date)
    $12R/$18NR
    This division is for players who have played tennis in the past competitively. Players in this division generally have directional control over the ball and are able to utilize different types of strokes during match play. This division would be comparable to players who are level 3.5 or higher on the USTA rating system.
