What Divisions (levels of play) are offered? |
Impact Team Tennis uses the USTA rating system. The league is offered at the 3.0, 3.5 & 4.0 levels; however, if there is enough interest, a 4.5 league could be offered. |
|
Determining Team Rating |
The average NTRP rating of the top two men and top two women players on your team determines the team rating. |
|
Example: |
|
Joe- 4.5 |
Mary- 3.5 |
|
Tom- 4.5 |
Jill-3.5 |
|
Bill- 4.0 |
Gail- 3.5 |
|
Joe- 4.5 |
Mary- 3.5 |
|
Jim- 3.5 |
Joan- 3.0 |
|
The best two men and two women are: 4.5 + 4.5 + 3.5 + 3.5 = 16. 16 divided by 4 equals 4.0. |
|
This team could register for the 4.0 division or a higher division. A team consists of a minimum of two men and two women.
Although the limit to the number of team members is ten, the suggested number of players is three men and three women.

Where do we play? |
All matches will be held weeknights at Banning Park, 102 Middleboro Rd., Wilmington, DE & start promptly at 6pm. If the season runs long, we may need to start matches a little earlier. |
|
Can I register as an individual/substitute/team? |
If you're a loner and don't technically have a team, but want to play so bad you'll do anything, we will definitely take you... but you'll be labeled as a lone wolf. When you register without a team, you will be thrown into the lone wolf pound, but don't you worry - we will help you find your wolf pack. Please realize that we will not contact you regarding your team assignment until after all registrations are in (approximately one week prior to the season/tournament).
If you've got your own small pack but not quite enough for a full team (it really only takes 2 men & 2 women!), then go ahead & register & have your friends register & make sure you list each other's names so that you can be put on a team together. OR...ask for my help to complete your pack/team!
If you are registering as a team, the team captain should send an email to tayalc_218@yahoo.com with your team name and level prior to having players register. Once the team name has been logged, players can register.
If you are joining an established team you will be able to identify that team as part of the registration process. When we form new teams to accommodate everyone, one of the players must be willing to be captain.
See substitute player information below. |

Note to substitute players: |
Substitute players are allowed to play in a maximum of 2 matches for 2 teams & will be charged $10 per substitution, to be paid to League Coordinator at or before night of play. |
