Match Play with USTA Northern
Adult Match Play Series for Advanced Beginner to Intermediate players (NTRP rating under 3.0). This program is designed for developing players looking to gain match experience in a fun, team-based environment. (This is not intended for advanced or highly competitive players; players 3.0+ would be a great fit for USTA Flex Leagues!)
Instructors are on-site to assist with scoring, positioning, and strategy. Teams represent one of six home sites: Lake Hiawatha, Linden Hills, Lynnhurst, Morgan, Pershing, or Powderhorn. The season concludes with a playoff to determine the Park vs. Park Champions.
Teams consist of 8 players and compete during a 6-week season featuring both home and away matches. Competition is played primarily in doubles format, with occasional singles. Pairings and matchups are assigned weekly and will vary throughout the season to promote balanced play and team camaraderie.
New for 2026 – Registration Process: Players register individually and select their top three preferred home sites, indicate their skill level (advanced beginner or intermediate), and may request placement with one mutual friend. Teams are formed based on site preference, skill balance, and one approved friend request.
Waitlist players may have opportunities to substitute during the season.
