Adult League Wrap-Up: November/December 2023
Fall is in the air, but the summer action is still fresh in our minds! As usual, we were action packed with Sectionals and Long Island had its fair share of victories.
The 18+ 2.5 Women from Point Set WON at Nationals! These ladies came together in the USTA format for the first time this past season, and dominated from start to finish. Tired of facing off against one another in town leagues, Laura Crain created this Point Set team to play with her friends and enjoy some competition along the way. Their competitive nature brought them all the way across the country where they took the top honors! The Long Island Region could not be more proud of these women, and we hope this is a start to long and lustrous USTA experience for them all!
Below is the full list of teams that won Sectionals which qualified them to compete at Nationals:

While some teams have Nationals in their sites, others have already started their conquest in the tri-level leagues and 18+ mixed. The 4.5 tri-level leagues have begun and will end just shy of the December holidays. The 18+ Mixed Doubles has just begun, and registration is open until January 15. Feel free to reach out if you are interested in joining in on the fun.
Lastly, the Long Island Region is trying to gain traction in the newly created 5.0 tri-level league. As of publication, this league will run for the men with at least two teams participating and at the moment, there is one team interested for the women. If there is anyone interested in captaining another team, please contact me.
