The U.S. Tennis Association is the primary league. In order to play adult USTA leagues.
A USTA yearly membership is $44 a year and can be purchased online.
Each time USTA does a 5-6 week league, you will pay a league fee to USTA. (about $28)
You will need an NTRP rating in order to play. Talk to Kevin or Sarah prior to doing a self rate on the USTA website.
If you play at the Yarbrough Tennis Center (YTC) and are not a member, you’ll pay a $5 clay court fee when you check in. Consider becoming a member of YTC.
Kevin Fitchner is hired by USTA to run the leagues. His email is fichtkm@auburn.edu. His cell phone is 334-538-6526
If you are interested in playing USTA, email Kevin and cc Sarah Hill at shill@auburnalabama.org. We will need your email, cell phone number and your level. It also helps to have your age: 18 and over, 40 and over, 55 and over or 65 and over.
Most league matches are played at the Yarbrough Tennis Center, but if there is an Opelika team or a Moores Mill team, they can have some home matches. During league play (not a weekend tournament) there is no limit to the number of players from outside of Alabama.
Our goal at YTC is to get people to play more tennis — that includes league for some.
