is a non-profit organization based in Contra Costa County that has formed to develop new recreational, social, and competitive tennis events and programs, as well as to help promote existing programs, throughout the Bay Area.
The launch of our new Community Portal website has been delayed until late 2006. More details of plans for this will be posted later this fall. Ultimately, the goal of the site will be to promote discussion of local tennis issues, and a source of information for local events and social tournaments.

How it Works
Players are assigned up to 10 matches, which they schedule to play on their own over a 12 week period. Matches can be played at any location mutually agreed to by both teams. Winning team is responsible for reporting the score via the league website, or by contacting the league coordinator by phone or email. Final League Standings determine starting position for the End-of-Season Tournament.

The Contra Costa Tennis League (CCTL) league season will run a total of 11 weeks,

and ending with an End-of-Season "team tournament", for which each CCTL-participant team is eligible.

Adult Friday Night Team Tennis League
Bay Area Tennis is again organizing a new league, based on the exciting World Team Tennis format. Teams will consist of at least 4 men & 4 women. Though there is no limit to the actual size of your team roster, limiting your team to 12 players is recommended.
Matches will be hosted on a rotating basis by participating clubs. Balls & snacks are provided by designated teams. Four (4) lighted courts will be required for match play, but only one time per facility. Match times are Fridays at 7PM!
A team match consists of 5 no-ad sets and includes one set of men's doubles, men's singles, women's doubles, and women's singles, and one set of mixed doubles. Format will be No-Ad scoring with receiver's choice at 3-all, except in mixed doubles, where gender-to-gender is the rule. Each no-ad set is won by the first team to reach 6 games. A 9 point tiebreaker will be played at 5 games all in any set.

Adult Social Tournaments
No Adult Tournaments are currently planned for 2005 by Bay Area Tennis.
Summer Boy's & Girl's Youth Singles League
Bay Area Tennis does not have any plans to develop new leagues for players 18 and under this year at this time. Should those plans change, we will advise those on our mailing list. The problem on our part is not due to a lack of interest or concern for the tennis youth of the Bay Area, but rather a lack of committed volunteers to assist.
We will continue to look for new opportunities for youth programs, but for now, we have decided it was best to focus on our Adult programs.
If you are an adult or teen, with a strong interest in helping to organize youth tennis programs for your area, please contact me!
If you are a boy or girl, age 18 or under, interested in connecting with others your age for tennis, sign-up for our email list here: Join Bay Area Tennis to be added to our site mailing list. Or feel free to phone me at 707-400-6787.
(If I have not yet responded to your email, my apologies. I've been focusing on the web design stuff lately, but I promise I WILL respond!)
