What is Lone Star tennis? Lone Star Tennis is a USTA program where 2.5 level ladies’ teams compete in a local tournament event. A team is made up of 6 to 12 players. Teams compete by playing 3 lines of doubles (no singles). Each doubles line is an 8-game pro set, no ad scoring (format could change based on number of registered teams). Captains/coaches are on-hand to assist with score keeping, rotation management, and answer other basic questions of tennis competition.
Do I qualify to play Lone Star? Lone Star is for ladies rated 2.5 and below only. Players must be 18 years of age or older to register for this event.

- Speak to your local tennis pro about getting on a team.
- Get a group of ladies together and form your own team. Your local pro or Casey Herridge [email protected] can help you get registered.
