USTA is now offering a new FUN league: Mixed Doubles Tri-Level at a few locations within the Philadelphia Area Tennis District. For some highlights of the details click here:

• Format:
  o Mixed Doubles - 3 Courts per match at a combined 7.0 / 7.5 / 8.0 rating
  o This league will allow players to play at a rating more than 1.0 apart (For example, a 4.5 rated player and 3.0 rated player can play together on the 7.5 court)
  o This will be a non-advancing league – there is no advancement to championship play (districts/sectionals/nationals). Depending on the number of teams, there may be a year end tournament as an alternative to post season play.
  o A home team will still be assigned each week, which will represent the team responsible for providing the balls for the match.

• Season Dates, Locations and Match Times:
  o Season will likely begin in early May
  o Matches will be played outdoors on weeknights @ 6PM (Targeting a recurring schedule, for example every Wednesday evening. Actual day of the week still to be determined).

   Chester County (Malvern, West Chester, Newtown Square)

• Cost:
  o The cost for league registration is still being determined. To give a rough estimate, registration should cost no more than $38 for the entire season!
