How the USTA Flex League Works

• USTA Flex League groups players of similar ability together using NTRP levels
• Teams are comprised of at least one player for a singles team and two players for a doubles team
• There is no limit on the number of players you can have on your team
• Teams are grouped by preference for weekday/weekend or evening/weekend play
• Season is structured to provide each team with 8-9 weekly matches
• Team matches require access to only one tennis court that can be reserved for play
• Teams arrange to play on a day and time that is most convenient each week
• It is the home team’s responsibility to initiate contact to schedule the match, reserve the court, and bring new balls. Any fees associated with court use is the home team’s responsibility.
• Players must be at least 18 years old by the start of the season to be eligible to participate
• USTA Membership is not required for participation in the USTA Flex League
• If you do not have a USTA NTRP rating, you must complete the self-rate process before registering

• Charlotte USTA Flex League results do not count for NTRP ratings
