WHAT is the CASCADES TEAM TENNIS LEAGUE?
Unlike CTG's social tennis, where you can drop-in and participate at your convenience, Cascades Team Tennis is an organized,  competitive, intra-community
league with structured teams and scheduling.  
CTG's Team Tennis league is modeled after World Team Tennis (a league created by Billie Jean King) where teams, comprised of three men and three
women, compete at a weekly meet. 
Team Tennis weekly meets consists of 5, five-set matches.  There is one set of each of the following:
1.  Men's Singles
2.  Women's Singles
3.  Men's Doubles
4.  Women's Doubles.
5.  Mixed Doubles.
Each participant will play two, five-game sets in each meet.  At any given meet, participants will play one set each of either gender singles and gender
doubles OR gender doubles and mixed doubles.
To participate in this league you must register before the June 10th deadline. 
HOW DOES THE LEAGUE WORK?
This intra-community league is comprised of four teams that will play each other on a weekly basis (eg team 1 plays team 4 while team 2 plays team 3). 
WHAT DAY/TIME WILL TEAM TENNIS BE HELD?
Cascades Team Tennis will be held on Tuesday evenings from 7-10pm at the Stone House courts.  There are two six-week sessions:
- Session 1: TBD 
- Session 2: TBD
DO I HAVE TO PLAY EVERY WEEK?
Each team has to "field" four players every week (2 men and 2 women).  As there are six players on each team, there will be weeks where you will not play. 
This allows for players to participate even if they are going to miss a week due to vacation, business travel, etc.  Team captains will be responsible for
coordinating their team's player schedule, which includes managing for weeks when players are unavailable.

club-level players.
