TACK: Combo League Registration Open + Session 1 March Makeups

Combo League Registration Now Open -- Team Formation Deadline July 17

Adult Combo League plays 3 doubles courts combining players at different levels*. It's a fun way to end your summer! Play starts the beginning of August, and runs through late September. State Championship is in Lexington, Oct. 2-5. Matches are played both outdoors and indoors.

Team Initial Roster Deadline is Friday, July 17 -- that's in 2 weeks! If you're a player looking for a team, contact us at [email protected] .

*=Teams pair players with unequal USTA ratings on each court -- for example, a 7.5 team doubles pair would usually pair a 4.0 and 3.5 player. "Playing up" is allowed one level only (0.5 rating). For more on Combo League, see our link on the TACK REGULATIONS page.

Captain's Corner

Here are a few things we've learned about playing in these times:

Match Scoring: Since clubs have taken down score cards, some players are using chalk on the club court surfaces. This creates a cleaning hardship for clubs! A better solution: bring your own tennis score keeper ( click here for an example on Amazon ).

Touching Balls: USTA guidelines suggest a set of balls for each server on a court. Most league players are ignoring that. If you're worried about handling balls that other players have touched, a disposable glove on the non-dominant hand (the one that tosses in serving) solves the problem. Pass this on to your players.
