The 2025 calendar year was also a historic one as USTA Leagues surpassed one million registrations, for the second time in the program's history, the first being last year.
The USTA League was established to provide adult recreational tennis players throughout the country with the opportunity to compete against players of similar ability levels. Players participate on teams in a league format, which is administered by the USTA through its 17 sections. The league groups players by using six National Tennis Rating Program (NTRP) levels, ranging from 2.5 (entry) to 5.0 (advanced). USTA League is open to any USTA member 18 years of age or older.
Head Penn Racquet Sports is in its 38th year as the official tennis ball of USTA League.
