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.
Facilities:
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.
NTRP Ratings:
Adult USTA teams use NTRP ratings to determine a player’s level.
If you don’t know what your rating is, visit Tennislink to understand ratings.
