DC Tennis Re-stringing & Military Kids Charity Tournament

Charity Tennis - Featured Sponsor

We recommend Mains & Crosses as a stringer of choice in the Washington, DC area. Veteran-owned and run by a true tennis professional. It is a small family shop that does quick and quality work.

Another proud sponsor at this past weekend's Our Military Kids Charity Tennis Event. Thank you for your service! Congrats to everyone who participated in this great cause.

DC Tennis Racket Re-stringing
All weekend long, he was stringing rackets feverishly for only $16/racket. I tested the racket he applied "dynamic tension" upon and it is playing like a dream even a few days later.

Highly recommended tennis restringing service. Get our Tennis Bargains Discount for first time customers who refer us when making a reservation online to drop off your rackets. Be sure to like his Facebook Page.

World Team Tennis Rec League! Compared to USTA League: Review and Comparison

World Team Tennis: Rec League vs USTA League

Better Alternative to USTA League?

As a cheaper, more friendly alternative to USTA without the Annual Membership fees and League Registration Fees: I recommend the World Team Tennis Rec League. Just like the professional league, this is where fans and players of tennis at home can participate together!

Zero Annual Fees at WTT.
Just pay only the season you want to join with other social tennis friends. Recommended for beginners to intermediate players looking for a true Co-Ed social tennis experience without paying $44 for USTA. It gives you a great indoor tennis option in the winter (starting Nov)!

WTT = Social Tennis for All Ages

with team star Ryan Harrison

Fun co-ed tennis for men and women - able to play both singles and doubles matches
It's for men's and women's combined teams. There's 5 sets per match, 2 singles and 3 doubles. One player can play singles, mixed and doubles the same night. I joined the Fall 2016 league today, and if I didn't like it I would not have re-joined*

Find a Local League in your State to start playing! Register and they will help you get on a team.

Team Stats and Seasonal Championships with National Qualifiers
In 2012-2013, I personally played in a WTT Rec League for Washington DC winter league indoors.

Our team won the DC League and we were eligible to compete for the National Qualifiers at Indian Wells, CA! Lots of fun sets playing with teammates each week.

What I love about WTT is that it's fan friendly and social.
Not as cut-throat as players of USTA. There is more TEAM action, and very co-ed. I was playing Men's singles, Men's doubles and Mixed Doubles each weekend.

USTA is all about bragging rights if you get to USTA District, Sectional, and Nationals but many of the teams that reach that stage have players are known as "sandbaggers". They under-rate their NTRP level deliberately and shave points so that they do not get DQ'd. It's so much drama each match sometimes, I have no idea why you would want to be a USTA team captain.

USTA League - the never-ending Membership commitment
It's $44 a year in memberships (but here's a link for my tennis fans to get a free US Open 2016 hat).
