What's the deal with some of the captains and players treating it like Wimbledon? Sheesh.

How bad can I be to join?

I can volley and return ok but my serve is pathetic. Is there a sucky level?

Most leagues start at 3.0 but there are some 2.5 leagues.

Here is the adult site for playing:

OK, sounds like this is definitely a more widespread thing *

Avoid like the plague. The lower the rating, the worse it

I get bored playing the same guys at the club.

I've played Ultimate Tennis, but those guys are more uptight than USTA.
Men's USTA is pretty chill here in Dallas area.

Things get ugly during the playoffs... and the sandbagging is ridiculous.

During the regular season, we all cheer each other on during the matches. Usually, both teams hang around to watch the last match finish. We drink beer and cheer loudly. It's all in good fun.


Women's USTA is a complete shit show. They get mad at each other, hush the crowd, etc.
