USA League

USA League tennis is a national league where teams form locally and play.

Local winners move on to the State Championships, Sectional Champion-ships and National Championships. Teams are separated based on ability and age.

The Coronado Tennis Center is home to nearly 40 teams each year.

Teams put themselves together based on their NTRP rating and age: senior (over 50), super senior (60 & over) and adult (19 & older) with most of our teams being senior.

There are also combo teams where two levels of players play together as long as they don’t surpass a specific level.

USA Leagues have four local seasons. Adult and Senior seasons begin in February and end in late May. The Mixed Doubles season is June through September. The Combo season is August through September. The Super Senior season is in October.

Tennis for Juniors

Tennis training for Juniors is available for ages 7 - 18 throughout the year. Summer programs are available for children through juniors. See the section on "Summer Programs" for further information.
