WELCOME TO ADULT TENNIS IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.
Adult Tennis is the ideal way to get outdoors, stay healthy and fit, and expand your social circle. Players of all ages experience the benefits of tennis every time they step on a court to sharpen their competitive edge or to enjoy a healthy activity with friends.
The New York Times has reported that people who “played tennis” and other social sports lived longer than both sedentary people and those who took part in solitary activities like jogging, swimming and cycling. Said otherwise, the social aspects of playing tennis are as healthy for you as the fitness aspects.
USTA SoCal provides a plethora of adult tennis programming, including year-round Adult Leagues, and Adult Tournaments that segment players by age or rating. For the recreational player, USTA SoCal offers life-style centered FLEX tournaments, single-day Fast4s, Cardio Tennis and Sip ‘n Serve.
TENNIS 101
USTA Southern California is proud to support a variety of organizations that deliver tennis programming to youngsters throughout the Section. Among them, National Junior Tennis & Learning (NJTL) chapters provide tennis development, wellness, and education enrichment to under-resourced youth. Community Tennis Associations (CTA) are volunteer-based organizations that support tennis programming for various audiences.
ADULT LEAGUES
USTA Southern California adult leagues are team-oriented programs organized with the help of a national rating system (USTA NTRP), providing for level-based play. Teams are organized by skill level, age group, and geographical region, so you’ll always be challenged by your peers while enjoying the camaraderie of being a part of a local team!
One of the major benefits of playing USTA League tennis is the ability of your team to advance beyond Southern California and represent #TeamSoCal at Sectional and National competitions!

SOCIAL & RECREATIONAL
Tennis can be a highly competitive sport, but there’s more to the game than wins and losses. Even recreational tennis can play an essential role in promoting personal health, professional networking, and everyday fun.
USTA social and recreational programs are ideal for the less competitive player. Sip ‘n Serve and Cardio Tennis are focused on tennis as a healthy and social activity. USTA Southern California works with tennis providers throughout the year to host these and other types of appealing social tennis activities.
RATINGS & RANKINGS
Ratings and rankings play an integral role in our adult tennis programs. USTA NTRP ratings are required for most competitive formats. They are designed to create a level playing field in each division and to produce high quality tennis each and every round. Rankings track your competitive growth and help determine where you stand among your peers.
Many players also view rankings and ratings as a badge of honor, celebrating personal achievement in the game.
