USTA Adult Spring League

Lake Norman Tennis Association

USTA Adult Spring League

USTA League tennis is a great way to meet & play with people of your same skill level. Each match, teams play doubles and some leagues also play singles, depending on the age division and level. See chart below for formats and roster size requirements. Leagues range from 2.5 to 9.0 skill levels.

Teams compete locally and can progress to State, Sectional, & National championship play. No player may register for a particular team in a league lower than their rating. For example, a 3.5 – rated player can play on a 3.5 or a 4.0 team, but cannot play on a 3.0 team.

NTRP Ratings & USTA Membership Info

All players participating in USTA Leagues are required to have an active USTA membership. Click here to create a USTA account. The leagues use the NTRP rating system. Each player must have either a computer rating or must be self-rated. You can find everything you need to know about ratings including how to self-rate, find your NTRP rating, and appeal your rating in the Ratings Info section of our Captain’s Corner/Player Resource page.
