Leagues

Whether you’re a seasoned competitor or new to organized matches, BTC is proud to support year-round league play through USTA, UTR, and other local and regional programs. If you’re interested in captaining or joining a team, just reach out to our Club Director—we’re here to help get you on the court.

BTC also makes it easier for flex league participants to play on their schedule, with extended reservation options beyond our standard 1.5-hour blocks (during non-peak hours only). And when teams go the distance, we’re proud to support their success: BTC provides a small stipend to help cover expenses for those who qualify for USTA Nationals. From local matches to national runs, we’ve got your back.

Several USTA Leagues for “BTC Members Only” are available on weekday mornings and weekend afternoons.
