Adult League Wrap-Up By Kathy Miller

Adult League Wrap-Up

By Kathy Miller

The USTA Adult 18 & Over, 40 & Over, 55 & Over and 65 & Over Leagues are back! After more than a year with all of us dealing with the pandemic, it is wonderful to see so many of our tennis friends back on the court and competing once again. We are running about 80 percent of the leagues we were before the pandemic, with more and more people returning to the league and many new players getting involved!

The 18 & Over Mixed Doubles league had their Sectional Championship the weekend of June 11. The Long Island 6.0 7.0, 8.0 and 9.0 teams had great competitive matches with the 6.0, 7.0 and 9.0 teams coming in second place, and the 8.0 team coming in third. Great job by all!
