Join Us for Two Fun Opportunites to Play
LNTA is opening registration SOON for two leagues that will start late-August & early-September. Mixed Madness League will start late August and run through October. The Fall Combo League will start after Labor Day and could run through early-December.
PLEASE NOTE: All State Championships have been cancelled for 2020 due to the pandemic.
Facility Requirements/Procedures
All facilities expect that everyone will maintain social distancing, and that there will be no congregating. Players should not arrive more than 10 minutes before their scheduled match time. North Carolina has a mandate to wear masks in retail establishments, so REMEMBER THAT ALL OF OUR PRO SHOPS ARE RETAIL ESTABLISHMENTS; THEREFORE, PLEASE WEAR A MASK WHENEVER ENTERING A PRO SHOP in the area.
Captains should check with your facility on league restrictions prior to registering a team. If your facility does not allow league play and you wish to play out of a public facility, please contact Iris at adults@lnta.org.
Water will not be available at any facility. Players and participants should be mindful of facility and USTA guidelines for safe play.
Refunds
COVID-RELATED: It is important that players be aware that USTA NC has an updated refund policy due to the current pandemic. This policy will be followed statewide and will also affect local league fees. Players should be aware that should play be suspended because of COVID related restrictions, refunds for league registrations will not be available. Please plan your team registrations accordingly. To view the refund policy, CLICK HERE. Since LNTA gave partial refunds for spring league, but will not be issuing refunds for any COVID-related requests, we are discounting our 2020 fall registration fees to $20.00, which is a $5 discount per registration.
Participating in leagues and programs is an individual decision. We’ll continue to offer league play, as long as we are in at least Phase 2, and there is interest from Lake players. Many of you have continued to play, while others are still hesitant; please think about all the risk factors and make the best decision for you, prior to registration.
