    Women's Shoe Selection?

    Ok, thank you. I see now that many of the shoes on other sites are backordered. I was hoping you'd get some new Diadora or Head shoes in soon. I'll keep checking back.

    Women's Shoe Selection?

    Why is the women's shoe selection so small? Other than Nike and Adidas, there is very little offered. And the size selection seems to be only the very small and very large sizes. I prefer to buy from TW, but some of your competitors have a much larger selection, more size options and more...

    Stringin Pattern on New Yonex Ezones

    I saw that but it doesn’t give starting holes for crosses and starting at head or throat for mains.

    Thank you.

    How is Arch Support measured?

    Yes, I need at least a medium arch support. Most of the shoes with low arch support cause plantar fasciitis, even when I use Superfeet or other high quality insoles.

    How is Arch Support measured?

    How does TW measure the arch support in shoes? I think the shoe finder used to have arch support as a selection. I wish that was still an option in the shoe finder.

    Revamping 40+ league?

    Give up Schmke, Max and Pro Kenneth. Moveforwardalways lives in a dream world if he thinks public shaming and forcing people to play tennis that they don't want to play would be a great addition to RECREATIONAL tennis. People have different attitudes and ability levels, and that is why there...

    Revamping 40+ league?

    Not when the vast majority of players prefer doubles and feedback has been that many 4O & over teams have trouble fielding 2 singles per match. As I said before, every area is different. You area may have way more singles players than most. League administration has to go with the majority...

    Revamping 40+ league?

    The goal of USTA adult league tennis is to offer recreational tennis for a variety of levels with a variety of formats. The purpose of having NTRP ratings is to keep the competition as even as possible and offer league play for different levels. Some players do not like singles and some do not...

    Revamping 40+ league?

    That is not correct. Some Sections count singles league toward year end ratings regardless of whether you played in Adult leagues or not. Some sections do not count it at all. Some sections may treat it like mixed and only count toward YE ratings if someone did not participate in Adult...

    Revamping 40+ league?

    Singles league is a straight rating league and does count toward year end ratings in some Sections. It does have District Championships in some areas. I may be mistaken, but there may be Sectionals in some sections. Currently, there is no National Championship for Singles League.

    Revamping 40+ league?

    There are USTA Singles leagues. Why not start one in your area? USTA offers many different formats, but it takes someone willing to administer a new league to get it going. Contact your Sectional office and find out how to go about starting a new league in your area.

    Revamping 40+ league?

    It's about both. The USTA does not own the courts used for league play. It is very important to be respectful of the entities who own the courts. Some areas may have large public facilities that have plenty of courts for league use and no restrictions, but some areas do not. League...

    Revamping 40+ league?

    Building indoor facilities and more courts is an expensive undertaking. It's easy to say "build more courts". But to who or what entity do you address that? Most courts in our area are owned by private entities or neighborhood associations and require membership. Many are in neighborhoods or...

    Revamping 40+ league?

    Every area is different, so it's really not that simple in our area. Your area leagues may be smaller than the ones in my area. We have limited indoor court space. All outdoor clay courts close from late Nov to early April. We play all leagues (USTA and non-USTA) except Mixed 18 & Over...

    Revamping 40+ league?

    Local leagues may choose formats other then 2S and 3D played at championships. However, many local leagues choose not to use a different format since the advancing teams may have issues changing to the 2S and 3D format in post season. Post season championships for 40 & Over use 2S and 3D. For...

    Any experience with roster change after match has started? (USTA)

    If a match no points have been played, you can change the line-up unless your Section has a rule that states otherwise. This is covered in the USTA National Rule Q&A on page 4. There is a link to this document on the TennisLink home page, and I am surprised at how few people ever look at it...

    Continued decline of USTA tournament play in my area

    I think there are many reasons. I started playing tennis about 20 years ago. At that time there were many local tournaments. Many were member/guest tournaments at various facilities, some were annual tournaments that usually got a good draw and often divided into 7.0 and below and 7.5 and...

    Heat tolerance and aging

    I grew up in south GA. The state tournament in Macon in July is delightful. ;) I still live in the south, but not GA. South GA humidity is awful. You get somewhat used to it, but even young people in the best shape can have heat stroke in those conditions. I'm sure Florida, South AL, MS...

    Heat tolerance and aging

    When I turned about 50 I noticed that playing in extreme heat was much harder on me and it took me longer to recover after playing in the heat. I do whatever I can to take care of myself when it's really hot and humid. I sit on changeovers. I bring an ice pack and put it on my head or neck on...

    How Will This Be Decided?

    I think you are mis-interpreting the ALC role. The ALC doesn't make a ruling based on who he or she prefers. There is a method for ALC's to follow. In order to certify a league or level winner for post season play, ALC's always have to check for full team defaults. If all teams in contention...

    How many matches - Three team league (3 lines of doubles)

    Scheduling leagues seems easy.......that is, until you've done it. Advancing leagues have deadlines (set backwards from the National, Sectional and District Calendars). Schedules have to be planned around other leagues (USTA and non-USTA), holidays, facility court availability, number of...

    USTA League Rules vs Local USTA League rules

    USTA League rules apply in hierarchical order: USTA National League Regulations and Interpretations, USTA Section Rules, USTA District Rules and then USTA Local League Rules. Section, District and Local rules can't contradict USTA National Rules. If they do contradict, it's generally a...

    Is league participation hurt by lack of captains?

    Lack of captains is definitely a problem. Dealing with players who can't seem to plan out their personal schedules around a few matches can be very frustrating. I suspect that the reason that the USTA doesn't do more captain recognition is the logistics. There is a large number of captains...
