Play Opportunities This Fall
Fall League
This "USTA Adult League Tune-up" provides some play for players looking to prep for the start of "real" league play January 1. Local coordinator Jennifer Dunn says she's looking for men's team participants at all levels, but she'll find space for anyone wanting to play. Consider captaining a team this fall! Don't forget, the initial roster deadline is Monday, Sept. 21. Contact Jennifer (and all our league coordinators) at info@tacktennis.org.
Mixed League
As we've mentioned, Mixed is running concurrently with Fall. League coordinator Tara McGuire says she's looking for more 18+/4.0 teams, and need captains to get their teams online so she knows how many there are. Contact Tara (and all our league coordinators) at info@tacktennis.org. Deadline for initial team rosters is Sept. 21.
65+ Invitational State Championship
The deadline for team formation is tomorrow/Wednesday, Sept. 9! This event will be outdoors at the Louisville Tennis Club, with a wide range of protocols in place providing for safe play. See USTA KY's 65+ league page for details. Hurry!
