USTA Adult League Play Postponed until Sept 1st

This was announced today, July 13th, 2020:

With COVID-19 cases on the rise, USTA NorCal has made the difficult decision to postpone Adult League play to September 1st. Although recreational tennis remains a relatively safe and healthy activity, many counties are not permitting doubles play and facilities are unable to open their doors to guests. 

The current team and player registration deadlines have been postponed until further notice and we will continue to work behind the scenes in hopes of announcing new plans for Adult League play in August. We appreciate all of your support and we hope to see everyone on the courts soon!  

Thank you for your patience and understanding, Adult League Staff Copyright © 2020 USTA NORTHERN CALIIFORNIA, All rights reserved.
