Each team has a captain that helps set-up rosters and schedules (a small part-time job)

Getting on a team : 
Unfortunately you can’t just sign up and join any team. Captains decide if they are looking to add more players to their team. 

If you feel you can field your own team you would need 16-20 players to get started. Players must be in the same level with one or two below level. 

Clubs : 
Sportime Randall’s 
Roosevelt Island, 
USTA Tennis Center
Manhattan Plaza
Columbia University
Cary Leeds Tennis Center

Looking to join a team? Visit tennislink.usta.com/Leagues to make an account, self rate and get yourself in the pool of available players. 

Other available USTA Leagues : 
Tri-Level : Fall & Winter 
Beginner League - Fall
Mixed Dbls : Fall & Winter
40 Over : Winter
55 & Over : Spring/Summer

Advancing : Most leagues are advancing - which means if your team wins you play regional, sectionals and nationals

I’ve tagged a few of our USTA players who will hopefully comment about their experience and help answer any questions along with us. 

We believe it is a great experience once you find your team!
