Adult Tennis - USTA Southern California

Playing at a competitive level versus with your friends, I had a lot of tough experiences. It was still fun, but it definitely motivated me to continue practicing.

ADULT TENNIS

USTA SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA

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.

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.
