NATIONAL
ADULT RECREATIONAL TENNIS:
ABOUT USTA LEAGUE
With more than 320,000 tennis players taking part each year, USTA League is the country’s largest adult competitive tennis league. It’s a great way to stay active, improve your tennis game, and even have the chance to compete for a National Championship. If you love tennis, you’ll love USTA League.
League play starts at the local level for players 18 and over. Top teams from local league play earn the chance to compete in district and/or sectional championships with the winners of sectionals advancing to USTA League National Championships. Your section may also offer other leagues such as combo (different NTRP levels playing doubles together), tri-level (3 lines of different NTRP levels), and leagues just for 18-39 year olds.
League offerings vary from section to section but most offer NTRP-level based play by age group. New players can self-rate to obtain an NTRP (National Tennis Rating Program) rating (please note that a USTA Account is needed to obtain a self-rating). Once you have an NTRP rating, you are ready to find a league and start playing!
There are many different options based on your level, age and interests. Contact your Local League Coordinator to find what leagues are offered in your area or email our USTA National Staff. Please see below for a listing of leagues that are frequently offered in each section.
