NOTE These instructions are intended for players whose captains have ALREADY REGISTERED THEIR TEAM and who have been given a Team Number that is valid.   

BEFORE USING TENNISLINK – PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING REQUIREMENTS: 

  1. ONLY PLAYERS who have a USTA membership number that is current through the end of the local league can register on-line. 
  2. If you NEED TO RENEW, you MUST do that PRIOR to using TennisLink for league registration.  For maximum efficiency in renewing, you can renew on-line at www.usta.com.  This will instantly update your membership status. 
  3. You MUST HAVE THE TEAM NUMBER that was assigned to your team by TennisLink at the time your captain registered your team in order to register yourself or any other players on the team. 
  4. You MUST HAVE THE TELEPHONE NUMBER of each player you wish to register for the team. 
  5. You MUST have an approved credit card (VISA, MasterCard or American Express).
