Players have spoken, USTA Colorado has listened. Next year, our Adult Leagues Department will be unveiling two new league offerings, and instituting a player-requested format change for the 40 & Over division.
USTA Flex Leagues debut in Colorado
Various USTA Sections added Flex Leagues to their lineups a few years ago, and the response in those areas has been extremely positive. The addition of Flex Leagues to the Colorado League Tennis menu will help fill in the gaps for those players who need scheduling flexibility and/or can't commit to a full-length season. Flex Leagues are also popular for those new to the sport, or player who are new to Colorado and want to check out the local league scene.
40 & Over gets Mixed
In response to player requests, USTA Colorado has added another Mixed Doubles League — USTA Mixed 40 & Over. The format will be the same as the USTA 18 & Over leagues, but specifically for players turning 40 years of age in 2014 and older. The league will play on Saturdays, and will culminate in a national championship.
USTA Adult 40 & Over format change
After an initial year of competition, the USTA Adult 40 & Over league in Colorado will move to a 2 singles/3 doubles format. Once again, player feedback was the driving force behind the move.
