A CAPTAIN'S RESPONSIBILITIES: Team
captains are encouraged to be participating members of a
local league team and should be familiar with the
structure and procedures of the league, as well as the
Rules of Tennis. A captain's responsibilities
include: • Attend all local league meetings. • Recruit enough players and alternates necessary
to complete the season. • Insure that all players meet eligibility
requirements. • Distribute all materials to team members including schedule of play, directions and a list of all team members and telephone numbers. • Collect all fees associated with participation
in the program. • Make team members aware of all league
regulations. • Confirm home matches and contact opposing team
captains to confirm date and time of match. • Reschedule postponed or delayed matches in a timely manner and
notify Coordinator (within 2 days) of dates of rescheduled matches. • Report winning match results to TennisLink within 2
days following the match.
All players have access to
TennisLink, the USTA’s online player
registration system. TennisLink allows
registered players to keep track of their
records and stats, as well as scout their
competition. Captains have additional
capabilities in TennisLink.
