NEW PLAYER PARTY & INFORMATION SESSIONS
Before each season, for each league, we
hold a tennis welcome party for new, unrated players interested
in participating in our leagues. The parties are similar for
each league, so if you miss the one for your league, you can
register for one in another.
League coordinators & captains will be there to answer
your questions. At each session, you will play with other
rated league players and a rating for you will be suggested.
Click on the league you are interested in on the left to
see when the next session is scheduled for that league.

HOW TO GET A RATING
If you have played in a USTA league or tournament anywhere
in the past 3 years (or 2 years if you are 60 years of age
or older), then you already have a rating. Go to Tennislink to look up your rating.
If you are new to the USTA, then you will need to SELF RATE.
The USTA no longer holds "rating sessions" to assign
ratings to players. Here are some suggestions to help you
self rate correctly:
- Attend one of our Welcome Parties
where you will play with other rated league players and
a rating will be suggested.
- Check out the USTA's video on About Self Rating found
on Tennislink
(see right side of page)
- If you take lessons, ask your coach what your rating
is. If you play regularly, seek out rated USTA players for
a match, and compare yourself.
- Read the NTRP
Playing Levels descriptions and select a rating that
reflects your abilities.
- If you were a ranked Junior player or played in high school
or college, please refer to the General
and Experienced Player Guidelines for assistance with
self-rating.

HOW TO JOIN A TEAM
Once you have determined your rating, contact the Coordinator
in your league, at your rating level. Your Coordinator
will assign you to a team. Once you are on team, your
team captain will help you sign up on-line for the league
and schedule you to play.
