2018 season

Hello RTL members

Another season of  Rochester Tennis League is coming up this spring.  I hope to see  you back in the league once again .



We are about  2 months ahead of the official start date but in coming weeks there will be a lot of work going on behind the scenes.

We plan to start registration for session I (singles)   in about a week or two . I will email you when the sign up link for returning players is ready.


Session I  singles begins April 23rd and ends  June 11th .  Our singles league will maintain the same format with 7 matches in a round robin competition versus players within your division. Past  results will be used to set up divisions for this season. We will try to place new players as close to their skill level as possible.


 Doubles league starts in mid May and registration for it will begin after singles registration  is finished.

We plan to run two sessions of doubles.

As in previous years, all returning players will play free of charge. New players joining us for the first time can register and pay  one time registration fee in amount of $30 on our site  www.rochestertennisleague.com


If you know anyone who might be interested in joining RTL please direct them to our site or they can email me for more info at rochestertennisleague@gmail.com . Thank you all for your efforts in spreading the word about the league over the years. Hopefully  we can get another influx of new members this spring as it has  been the case over the  past 12 seasons. We will also be opening the league to some advanced level junior players younger than 18   . These players will  be allowed to the league on case by case basis.


Help entering scores

Once again  we will be looking for a few volunteers who are  interested in helping us enter weekly  scores. If you would like to help this year please email me. It's a pretty simple process and we normally have one person editing  scores for 2 divisions meaning they enter 8 scores every week.

Contact info and accessing web site

I suggest viewing our web site on  your personal devices rather than work place computers. Employers are increasing web security  and  their filters are getting  really picky. I noticed that for some reason our doubles and women's league sites are more prone to  being mistakenly flagged as unsafe. I would also suggest using your personal email address for league purposes rather than workplace email. With about 300 people on my mailing list I wouldn't be surprised if issues come up with emails too.

Your positive review would be very helpful in promoting the league and attracting new players. These reviews / stars  show up on google platforms (maps, google search, etc.)


Arch Open
Arch Open charity tournament is scheduled for July 28th at Kutzky park. We will be talking more about this  tournament as we get closer to it.

Arch soccer

For those of you interested in recreational soccer ,  Arch Charity is starting a new 7 versus 7 outdoor   league this June. More info at www.archsoccerleague.org

Courts updates

 Kutzky park tennis facility is going through major renovation this spring and summer. If things go as planned all courts should be done this coming summer.
Soldier's courts were resurfaced past fall and I believe Young courts were supposed to be done as well.

Indoor singles
 I have been running  a group that plays singles Sunday mornings at RTC. It's a nice opportunity to get ready for the outdoor season. We have 50 players on the list. There is no obligation to play any certain number of matches. I email everyone weekly to see who is available following Sunday. Non members are charged $20 for 1.5 hours of tennis, RTC members pay $12. You get a free can of balls per each court. Matches are set at 10am or 11:30am. I match up players of similar skill level. If anyone is interested in getting  on this mailing list let me know. This would be a good chance for brand new players to play some pre season matches that would help us place them in an appropriate division once the league starts.

So long for this post. You will hear from me soon regarding session I sign up. Hope to see many of you come back for another fun season .
