USTA Norcal Adult League Tennis: Let players play for more than one team in playoffs.

Change USTA rule LLAR4B to allow adult league tennis players to play for multiple teams at playoffs.

Why is this important?

The USTA LLAR4B Adult League rule only allows players to play for one team going into playoffs. Therefore, players must choose one team only, and cannot play for all their teams if they are on multiple teams and if their teams made it to playoffs.

Are you a USTA captain who's had to withdraw its team at playoffs because you lost players to other teams? Or are you a player on a team who's been in a dilemma figuring out which team to commit to at playoffs?
Have you been frustrated when you chose the wrong team for playoffs and sadly saw your other team move to districts without you?

If you are a USTA member and answered "YES" to any of the above questions, join our cause to change the USTA rule by signing this petition, and show USTA that you agree that all players should be able to play on multiple teams at playoffs, and should only choose one team when and if they get to districts.

Please include your USTA number in the comments box when signing the petition.

Thank you!
