Calling all tennis lovers —there’s a brand new way you can enjoy a match of tennis right here Buffalo! 

The United States Tennis Association (USTA) is piloting an exciting new flexible tennis program and Buffalo happens to be one of the lucky locations that gets to test it out. 

The program is being launched through a new app: USTA Flex.

How it Works 

First, you’ll need to register for the program through the USTA Flex mobile app. This will allow you to contact opponents, record scores in the app, and stay updated with your program. The cost to join is $35 per player. Play begins June 19th! At the start of the program, you’ll receive an email and a notification to let you know who your opponents are, from here:

1. You’ll be grouped in a flight (round robin format) with opponents of a similar skill level

2. You’ll play each opponent in your group once

3. You and your opponent can schedule when and where matches are played, for ultimate flexibility

4. Simply complete each match before the end of the program
