Adult Tournaments
The USTA offers tournaments for every age and skill level, whether you are looking to play in your local community, travel the country to face the nation's best, or even looking to represent Team USA in a senior international competition. Tournament events are offered on clay, hard, and grass court surfaces.
Adult League Tennis
USTA League is the country’s largest recreational tennis league. Whether you are just starting out or returning to tennis after a break, there is a place for you. Age divisions start at age 18 and extend through 70 and older.
Play is based on the USTA’s NTRP rating system which enables you to play with players of similar skill level. If you’re new to the area or new to tennis, we can help. Feel free to contact us! Learn more about what to expect from USTA League tennis here.

The winning team enters scores into Tennislink within 48 hours.
In the event of inclement weather, make-up matches should be played within 14 days. Due to limited court availability, matches may be made up court by court.

Each team should provide their own beverages.

Any team using city courts as their home team will pay court fees directly to Parks and Recreation for their home matches. Invoices are sent to the team captains who may in turn collect fees from their team members.
The league coordinator will schedule all regular season matches.
