After a successful introduction last year, Metro’s 40 & Over League is off to a good start. We have 24 teams competing at the 3.0 through 4.5+ Levels. This League is a Metro League, meaning matches are played in multiple boroughs. This year, we have added two new clubs–Go! Tennis in Bayside, N.Y. and the newly opened Match Point in Brooklyn, N.Y. (formerly Brooklyn Racquet).

We are starting to plan for the 18 & Over Men’s & Women’s Spring/Summer season. Manhattan will begin in April, with the outer boroughs following in May. The 3.0, 3.5. 4.0 and 4.5 Levels play five courts: Two singles courts and three doubles. The 5.0+ Level is played with one singles court and two doubles courts. Please watch your e-mail and our Web site, www.metrotennis.com, for more information.

The 55 & Over League is also a Metro League. This format is three courts of doubles played at the 6.0, 7.0, 8.0 or 9.0 Levels. The Levels are based on the player’s combined ratings (3.0 + 3.0 = 6.0 or 3.0 + 4.0 = 7.0). The difference between the partner’s ratings may not exceed 1.0.
