How to Create a Team in TennisLink

Have the Minimum Roster + Captain

Once you have (1) gathered enough players to meet the minimum roster requirement and (2) designated a team captain, you are ready to set up your team in TennisLink. You may contact the Local League Coordinator to request a team number, or you may create the team yourself by following the steps below.

Creating a Team in TennisLink

1. Go to the TennisLink website and log in to your USTA account. You must be logged in to create a team.

2. Click “Login” to begin.

3. Log in using your USTA credentials.

4. Click the USTA LEAGUE tab located above your name.

5. On the right side of the page, under MY QUICK LINKS, select “Online Team Creation.”

6. Answer the team creation questions as follows:

   • 1. • Section: USTA / Southern

        • District: North Carolina

        • Area: NC – Western NC (Mtn)

        • Type of League: Select the appropriate option (Adult, Singles, Combo, Mixed, etc.)

        • Flight: Select the appropriate level (2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 5.5, 6.0, 6.5, 7.0, etc.)

        • Team Name:
          Team names must follow this format:
          WNC [Captain’s First Initial] [Captain’s Last Name] ([Home Facility Abbreviation])
          Example: WNCB Walker (HRC)
          Team names entered in an incorrect format will be corrected by the Local League Coordinator.

        • Team Type: 

          1. Closed: The default team type. This option is for teams that want full control over their roster. Players must be provided a team number by the captain or coordinator in order to register.

          2. Open:  Best for teams without a full roster that want to provide maximum opportunity for new USTA League players. Any player who meets the level criteria may join directly. When a new player joins your team, you will receive an email with their contact information so you can reach out about the upcoming or current season.

          3. Closed but Seeking Players: Select the option to receive notifications when players are searching for a team on TennisLink. Please note, you will not automatically be notified of players who complete the WNC “Looking for a Team” form. If you need additional players, contact your League Coordinator, who can provide access to that list.

7. Locate the USTA TennisLink facility number for your home courts. If your facility does not appear in the drop-down menu, click “Other Facility.” Enter the facility information, select “Search,” and highlight the correct facility when it appears. (USTA TennisLink facility numbers are listed below.)

8. Click “Create Team.” You will be taken to the registration page, where a team number will be generated.
   Important: The team number is valid only if you complete payment for at least one player’s registration. If you exit without completing registration, the team information will be lost. A valid team number will be displayed again after registration is complete.

9. To register yourself as captain, enter your USTA number, check the “Captain” box, and select “Next Step.” Follow the on-screen instructions to complete payment.

10. Record your 10-digit team number and print a copy of your confirmation. You will need this team number to provide to your players so they can register for your team.
    If you do not receive a “Congratulations” screen with an invoice number, your team is not registered, and the team number is not valid.
