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:
  -Mixed Doubles – 3 Courts per match at a combined 7.0 / 7.5 / 8.0 rating
  -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)
  -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.
  -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:
