BSTC Team Formation & Management
Playing at NTRP level
Every player shall play at their assigned USTA rating level, absent special circumstances and approval of the Tennis Director.
League Registration
After the CTA calendar is published in January, information and deadlines for league registration will be emailed to the membership and posted on the website.
Forming league teams
Players are encouraged to form their own league teams. Individuals who want to play on the same team can have one person from their group submit a list of players by clicking the Captain a Team button below by the registration deadline found in the. All players must still submit their own individual BSTC registration by clicking on the Join a Team button below.
Team Formation Process
Immediately following the registration deadline for each league, the Tennis Director and Adult League Coordinator will determine the number of teams needed at each level and confirm captains and co-captains for each team. The captains will meet by level to form teams and develop rosters using the registration lists. There will be a captains meeting to review policies and procedures, discuss new CTA rules, finalize the rosters and get USTA team numbers.
With approval from the Tennis Director and Adult League Coordinator, players may be added to existing teams in certain situations, e.g. to allow a new club member to play, create numerical balance for each team, replace an injured player, etc. These determinations will be made in consultation with the affected captains.
Leagues offered: BSTC may not offer teams for every USTA or CTA league due to court availability and/or lack of member interest.
League Fee
In order to offset the costs of adult league administration and additional court rentals, a league fee of $50 per player will be charged at registration for unlimited league participation. If a player is only on one team during the season, a $25 refund will be given in the fall.
Non-member players
Non-members will be invited to play on BSTC teams only when needed to fill out a team and with approval by the Tennis Director and Adult League Coordinator. Non-members must pay a fee of $50 per league and may only use BSTC facilities for league play and scheduled team practices. Under no circumstances is an individual allowed to play as a non-member in the first year following dropping an active membership.
