2021 Junior Team Tennis
USTA Jr. Team Tennis brings kids together in teams to play singles and doubles against other teams of similar skill level. It promotes social skills and important values by fostering a spirit of cooperation and unity, as well as individual self growth. Also, it's a fun environment for kids in which they learn that succeeding is really more about how they play the game - win or lose.

Adult Tennis League Fees

Adult Tennis League
Bear Creek is active in USTA league play. USTA rates players according to their skill level. A 3.5 player is 'solid', with a good serve, forehand and backhand, but perhaps somewhat inconsistent. A 4.0 player hits harder overall, and is very consistent. Typically teams are filled in the following categories:
  • Mens 4.0, 3.5 & 3.0 summer and twilight
  • Womens 4.0, 3.5, 3.0 & 2.5 summer and twilight
  • Mixed doubles 6.0, 7.0 and 8.0 summer
  • Mixed doubles 6.5 and 7.5 fall.
