USA League Tennis is designed to promote the development of recreational tennis players.
Leagues are based on team structure.
-- Adult leagues consist of two singles matches and three doubles matches for 3.0-4.5 levels.
Team matches for the 2.5 level adult league consist of one singles match and two doubles matches.
-- Senior, Super Senior, Super Duper Seniors and Mixed Doubles leagues play three doubles matches.
-- Each match is best 2 of 3 sets with a 10-point (must win by 2 points) tiebreaker played in lieu of a third set.
