Currently two doubles leagues are planned to begin in mid October 2022 and run through mid December. But, if you have a Mixed Tri-Level team (4.0/3.5/3.0), a 9.0 Mixed Doubles team, a 4.5/4.0/3.5 Women’s Tri-Level team let me know asap. There is a good possibility we can put a league together that would have to finish by mid November.
This message about Fall Leagues went out to many Coachella Valley League Players and Captains in late August 2022:
SCTA FALL DOUBLES LEAGUE For players 18yrs+. Format: 3 doubles matches. This league plays mid October to mid December. 10-12 players per team are suggested. 3.0 & 4.0 flights play on Saturday. 3.5 & 4.5 flights play on Sunday. There is advancement to Sectionals which is scheduled for late January 2023 at Rancho Las Palmas here in the desert.
CV Fall Combo Doubles for players 18 yrs+. Format: 3 doubles matches. This league plays October-December. 10-12 Players are suggested. 3.0 & 3.5 players may play the 6.5 league, 3.5 & 4.0 players may play the 7.5 league and the 4.0 & 4.5 players may play the 8.5 league. This is a weekday league. Ratings will not be generated and there is no post season play.
I’m looking forward to another great year of league tennis.
Feel free to pass this along to anyone who might be interested in playing league tennis in the Coachella Valley this fall.
