How this league works
About this league
IMPORTANT: Sign-ups for this league open Wed, June 3 @ 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 note: This program does NOT include instruction. If you'd like instruction, we recommend pairing this league with our Tennis in the Parks coach-led course.
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 pop-up nets). If you have an adult-sized racquet, we suggest bringing it as well.
- The focus is fun, fitness, and friendly competition!
