Team Tennis 

SCTC offers a 6-month season of competitive and fun social Team Tennis at two different levels. This is a very popular part of SCTC's annual calendar of events, so be sure not to miss it!

Team Tennis and Advanced Team tennis teams play mixed and same-gender doubles tennis for four hours on Sunday morning. Everyone on the team plays each match. Teams are determined based on ensuring a fair balance of rating among the teams. Each player will typically play one mixed match and one same-sex match.

There are separate registrations for ADVANCED team and TRADITIONAL team tennis leagues. Please read details on the EVENTS & SIGN UP Tab when registering to ensure you are in the correct league based on your USTA ranking:

Members with a rating of 3.0 and 3.5 register for and play in the Traditional league, while those rated 4.0 or above register for and play in the Advanced league.

Please only consider playing if you will be committed to making the majority of the matches. Otherwise, we invite you to sign up for the wait list once the paid registration list is full.

Membership in SCTC is required for participation in Team Tennis and you are not considered registered until you have paid for the event. Please make every effort to pay online at the point of registration. 

Contact teamtennis@sancarlostennis.com or advancedteamtennis@sancarlostennis.com with questions.

Team Tennis Introduction

What is Team Tennis?

Team Tennis is an intraclub activity. This year we will again have two different leagues of Team Tennis. The Traditional league is for players with ratings between 3.0 - 3.5. The Advanced League is for players with ratings between 4.0-4.5. Five teams are formed in the Traditional league, four teams in the Advanced league. Matches are once per month on Sundays at Arguello.

Being on a Team Tennis league team is an exciting and rewarding way to meet and get to know other SCTC members while playing lots of tennis. The premise of Team Tennis is social tennis in a fun and relaxing environment, with a healthy dose of competition.

What is the Roster Size and Match Format?

Five teams; 2 pro-style sets per player. Each team plays at total of 8 games. (20 men, 20 women players for the traditional league; 16 men, 16 women players for advanced league).

Teams consist of approximately 8 players, split between male and female. Each person on the team will play two pro style sets. In both the traditional and advanced leagues, there will be 8 pro sets in all (set players will be determined after sign-ups are complete and teams are formed). The teams will be balanced as much as possible.

When are the matches played?

Matches are played one Sunday a month at Arguello.

How do I sign up?

Players sign up individually and will be assigned to a team, as determined by the Coordinator and team captains using a Draft System, which includes trades to equal out team playing levels. Go to the Events and Sign Up page to register. Spots on teams are allocated on a first-come (paid), first-served basis.

Who are the team captains?

It could be you! We need 5 captains to lead the 5 traditional teams, and 4 captains to lead the advanced teams. Being a captain is fun and rewarding. It is not much work – just communicate with your players as to when they are expected to be at the courts and work out who plays in what events.

What are the rules for matches?

A complete set of Team Tennis Rules is provided. It is a good idea to print out a copy and keep them in your tennis bag for easy reference.
