Raleigh Area Tennis League

The Raleigh Area Tennis League is a weekday evening mixed doubles league.  The competition will be divided into various league levels with players using the National Rating Program as a way to determine which league to participate in.

There will be teams from city parks as well as clubs and subdivisions.  In the past, there have been existing park leagues as well as leagues involving inter-club play.  RATL is an attempt to unify these leagues in the hope of offering expanded competition and increased participation.  Matches will be played on city park courts, club courts, or on any site where a team entering the league can guarantee access to three lighted tennis courts for home matches on the evening of the league level in which they wish to participate.

Match Schedule and Format:

A team match will consist of three doubles matches.  Each match will be two out of three sets with twelve point tiebreakers played at six-all.

All three matches will be played at the same time.  Matches will begin play at 6:45 PM.

Team Format:         

Players should form their own teams with players at the appropriate level.  Six players are needed to play a match.  There is no maximum limit of players on a team roster.  It is recommended that each team have at least seven players.

Any player wishing to participate who does not have a team should contact Millbrook Exchange Tennis Center to have their name placed on the list of interested players.  Teams needing additional players to fill their rosters can use this list as a resource.  If enough players are on the list at a particular level, we will try to form new teams.  Players may put their names on the list by calling Millbrook Exchange Tennis Center at 872-4128.  There is not a registration fee to get on the list.
