What Is a Flex League?
USTA Flex Leagues offer structured, competitive play without the pressure of fixed schedules or locations. Instead of predetermined match times, you and your opponents decide when and where to play.
This makes Flex Leagues ideal for busy players who want consistent matches, the chance to improve, and opportunities to meet new hitting partners. It’s competitive, flexible, and built around your lifestyle.
