Fall registration is now open for the Southern Tri-Level Tennis League, a fun and friendly USTA team league where players of all skill levels get matched up with others at their level. It’s a great way to meet new people, stay active, and enjoy some friendly competition across the Golden Isles.

How it works:
• Teams are grouped by skill level (beginners welcome!)
• Matches are held weekly at courts like Jekyll Tennis Center, Sea Palms, and College of Coastal Georgia
• The season runs from early October through December
• Men’s and women’s teams available
• Cost is minimal, and racquets are the only equipment you need

We especially need more women for our Sunday afternoon league and men for our weekday evening leagues. You don’t need a full team—just sign up individually, and organizers will help place you.

🗓️ Deadline to register: September 30
📍 Sign up here: https://tennislink.usta.com/Leagues/TLRegistration/Registration.aspx
