In Adult age-division tournaments, players compete in specific age brackets (35s, 40s, 45s, 50s, all the way up to the 90s). To be eligible, a player must meet the minimum age requirement in that calendar year.

The USTA hosts a network of national championship events for age-division players, giving them the chance to win a prestigious Gold Ball! These championships are held on hard, clay, grass, and indoor courts throughout the year.

USTA NTRP tournaments feature level-based play against opponents at or around the same rating level (3.0, 3.5, 4.0 etc.).

Singles and doubles NTRP divisions are divided by age group (18 & Over, 40 & Over, and 55 & Over), providing even more opportunity for competitive match play across Southern California.

For those looking for NTRP play at the National level, USTA SoCal hosts a National Qualifier, one of several ways to advance to the USTA NTRP National Championships.

Some of the most anticipated USTA tournaments in Southern California are family competitions, which feature husbands, wives, fathers, mothers, daughters, sons, parents and siblings teaming up for doubles play. Even grandparent/grandchild events are on our calendar. All of these events are a great way to spend time with your loved ones and compete as a family not just locally, but also at the national level.

USTA Southern California continues to create innovative formats that complement the demands of a modern lifestyle. You can balance work and play with new tournaments like Fast4 and FLEX, designed for the active and busy player.

Fast4 events shorten games, sets, and matches in round-robin competition to allow for accelerated tournaments. A Fast4 event has four simple rules: (a) Sets are won at 4 games, (b) a tiebreak is played at 3-3, (c) tiebreaks feature a decisive point at 4-4, and (d) deuce games are decided by a single, sudden death point.

FLEX tournaments allow players to schedule and complete matches on their own time, and on a court of their choice. When draws are announced, players contact each other and find time to complete their match within seven days. The schedule continues weekly until the final round, when a champion is crowned.
