Programs

Come on out and play in the Belfast Summer Tennis League! We have a flexible schedule and you can play in either the Recreational, Intermediate, or Advanced Division (choose one). And if you have extra time available, you can play in both singles, doubles, and mixed doubles within your chosen division! League is open to players 16 yrs. and over.

This is an intramural-style league where Belfast Parks and Recreation will assign your matches; you and your opponent(s) are required to schedule your match to include time and location that best fits everyone's schedules. Matches can be played at Belfast City Park or at other tennis court locations in the regional area, and brand-new to BPRD is an electronic court scheduling option. You will also have the ability to report your match results electronically. We'll do our best to build-in some match make-up times for weather or vacations or other needs.

Registration will open on Monday, June 9 and will run through Wednesday, June 25. After registration, we'll create the divisions/sections and assign the matches. League play will run from June 30-August 24. And if you're interested, an optional end-of-summer fun tournament will be offered on Saturday, Sept. 6.

Price is $10/person/section (singles, doubles, mixed doubles). If you're registering to play for a doubles team, each doubles player has to register for the team. When you register, you'll place your doubles/mixed doubles partner's last name on your registration form.

Divisions: Recreational, Intermediate, Advanced (you can only play in one division). Use these guidelines to help you decide which division is best for you:

Recreational - This division is for players who want to improve their match play and tennis skills including hitting accuracy, speed on the court, and serving. Score will be kept during play, but reporting will be optional in this division for each individual/team. This division would be comparable to players who are around levels 2.5-3 on the USTA rating system.

Intermediate Division: This division is for players who want to play competitively, but who may still be working on hitting accuracy and improving serves. Players in this division are fairly consistent, with moderate ball control. This division would be comparable to players who are around levels 3-3.5 on the USTA rating system.

Competitive Division: This division is for players who have played tennis in the past competitively. Players in this division generally have directional control over the ball and are able to utilize different types of strokes during match play. This division would be comparable to players who are level 3.5 or higher on the USTA rating system.
