NorCal League Tennis

USTA League Tennis is the country's largest recreational tennis league, providing organized, structured team matches for more than 30,000 men and women of all ability levels. In Northern California, tennis is an integral part of life and our teams can be found on courts in the Bay Area and Sacramento, Santa Clara to Marin to Mendocino Counties, as far north as Redding and as far south as Fresno. Teams are set up according to NTRP rating, so you're always sure that you'll be facing off against someone of comparable ability. That keeps the competition lively and the atmosphere social. And as part of a team, you've got a built-in support entourage that few pros can match.

Whether you're a beginner or you're in a league of your own, we've got a program for players like you.
