League participation changes: Due to changes by USATT that started January 2021, league players must be active members of USATT to participate. There is a basic level of USATT membership at $25 a year as an alternative to the full membership of $75 a year. The Basic Membership allows players to participate in USATT tournaments 4 stars or lower (all except national level tournaments). It is recommended to register at least a day before league night as there is no guarantee that USATT will be able to process your registration on the spot at our club. We will check the USATT website to confirm you are an active member before you can participate in the league.
