For captains
How do I register my team for the upcoming season?
Captains can register their teams online during the designated registration period. For the 2025 season, team rosters will be available starting March 3rd, with registration open from Dec 15th, 2024 until March 1st, 2025. League dues must be paid before the first match.
Are there any specific responsibilities for captains on match days?
Yes. Captains are responsible for confirming match details (e.g., location, time, court type) with the opposing team captain at least four days in advance. On match day, captains must bring the official lineup, ensure sportsmanship, and report scores online and manually to the commissioner after the match.
How do I report scores after a match?
Winning captains must submit scores online to maintain accurate records. This includes entering match results on the website and confirming that scores reflect wins and losses accurately.
What is a blackout date, and how should I handle it?
Blackout dates are days when a club cannot host matches (e.g., due to events or maintenance). Captains should confirm blackout dates with their clubs and submit them by Feb 20th of each year for spring season. This will ensure that your team will not be slotted as Home team on those days.
What are the expectations for home matches?
The home team captain is expected to provide ITF-approved balls, water, and light refreshments, like snacks or Gatorade, for both teams to enhance the match experience.
Pro Tip: Match play starts promptly at 8:30 am, so we encourage all players to arrive early, warm up, and be ready for action!
