IMPORTANT: Sign-ups for this league open Wed, April 1 @ 3pm on the USTA Flex app.

Our Beginner Social League is a great step for new players ages 21+ who are not ready to play in a traditional Social League but still want to be part of a fun league atmosphere and meet other players at a similar level. Improve your hitting and knowledge of the game by playing short-court tennis with modified equipment. This league is open to beginner (1.0-2.5 NTRP) players ONLY.

Please email socialtennis@newengland.usta.com with any questions.

How the league works

• Plan to be on court for the full 2 hours each week playing with a mix of red balls and standard yellow balls.
• A coordinator will organize game rotations on site each week.
• USTA will provide all equipment (balls, youth racquets and nets). If you have an adult-sized racquet, we suggest bringing it as well.
• The focus is fun, fitness, and friendly competition!
