This TENNIS E-News is devoted entirely to the USTA League's Age-Division Restructuring Due in 2013.

The text and chart are taken from the USTA South Carolina website accompanied by this introduction, in part:

 

    USTA League Tennis is the world's largest recreational tennis league providing organized, structured team matches for all ability levels. Approximately 500,000 players compete nationwide, with over 124,000 adult and senior players coming from the USTA Southern Section, and nearly 50,000 players in SC alone.

     Proposed Changes to League Structure: The USTA is considering significant changes to the league age division structure. To give feedback on the proposed change, please email (USTA SC League Coordinator) Mary Goins at goins@sctennis.com.

 USTA LEAGUE RESTRUCTURING...

        THE OPPORTUNITY!

    • Research and focus group results predict a significant increase in league participation.

    • These changes will better align the age groups with  our current and future populations in USTA League.

    * Tennis on Campus moving into USTA League and existing players aging up.

    • An increase in players in each age group should help alleviate two-team league challenge.

• Proposed age restructure expected to produce more competitive match play and more accurate ratings.
