Join a Team
Once you have found a team or two that interest you, click on the captain’s name. You will transfer onto the captain's player page where you will find a link to his email. Ask if more players are needed. Players must have the captain's permission before joining teams.
We also have volunteers called local area coordinators who can be very helpful to players looking for teams.

NTRP
Teams and matches are set up according to the National Tennis Rating Program. The NTRP program insures that all of your opponents will be at your skill level. This keeps the competition fun and exciting and the atmosphere social. As a member of a team you will have your own built-in cheering section while being part of the action.

Ratings
Most players joining USTA league teams for the first time wonder "how will I get a rating?" and "What level should I sign up for?"
Unrated players must self-rate on the National USTA site before signing up for a team. We have guidelines to help you determine your rating based on your ability. The process consists of a series of questions which when answered by you will give you a range of ratings from which to choose. It takes about three business days for your self - rating to transfer to the USTA NorCal Site. At that time you can sign up for a team at your rating level and/or one level above your rating level.
Begin the self-rate process here.
