CTC is making a call for Captains & Players to contact CTC NOW to declare a team or express interest in joining a team for our 12th annual Recreational World Team Tennis league played this June and July.  Opening rounds begin Thursday June 9.

The CTC WTT Rec league features coed team tennis using the exciting WTT format with divisions at 3.5, 4.0 and 4.5.

Captains make the league possible.  No Captain, No team, No play...

What Captains must do:

1.  Contact CTC a.s.a.p. at wttleague@tenniscircuit.com  to declare what level team you will captain.  Don’t wait!  Due to schedule restrictions, CTC may limit to first 4 teams each level.

2.  Secure home courts for 3 to 4  home matches.  Either 2 outdoor courts for 2 hours, or 1 outdoor court for 3 hours (using a modified format).

3.  Work with CTC to plan the schedule: 3 home matches and 3 away matches in a four team division throughout June and July.  Maximum one match per week:  either 6PM Fridays (for local matches) or 5PM Saturdays (for teams with more than 30 miles travel).  This  allows teams from all over the state to compete in the league.

4.  Select players for your team:  Captains may select players from the large CTC/WTT draft pool of players looking for teams or recruit separately.  Recommended roster is 3 to 4 men plus 3 to 4 women.  Minimum for at team match is 2 men, 2 women.  Roster limit is 10 players.
