New Rule Changes Effective in 2025!

Several new rules are which were announced last fall are being implemented in 2025 that will affect your team roster. Please read these rules carefully and follow them. 

League Considerations and Rankings

Recognizing the advanced and continuing skills of our college rostered players, additional level requirements for play along with an age level expiration date have been adopted. Once a player is listed on a college roster, that player must play at the following minimum levels until the age of 30:

  • NCAA Division I:  AA 
  • NCAA Division II: A3
  • NCAA Division III, NAIA and all other college players: A

All high school team players must plat at the B level or higher. Any player who holds or has held ATP or WTA point(s) must play at the AA level until the latter of the age of 30 or until the expiration of his or her points.

Please refer to your captain or coordinator if you have any questions. You can also find more details in the November/December 2024 issue of Net News and in the 2025 Adult Rules Document.

ALTA Documents

Need ALTA information? You're in the right place for rules, handbooks, guides and season packets that will answer questions and provide necessary instructions for playing ALTA. Document availability is role-based. If you are a captain or other team leader, you will have access to more information than a regular member to help you do your job. ALTA tennis follows the USTA Rules of Tennis found in Friend at Court. ALTA pickleball follows the USA Pickleball Official Rulebook.  You should also consult ALTA's rules for specific guidelines concerning league play and other ALTA-sponsored events. Those rules provide information on ALTA-specific regulations, such as default, forfeiture, retirement, scheduled match, sandbagging, inclement weather, rules specific to each league and the Junior Challenge Ladder.
