Premier Tennis League court background

Play

Structured team tennis,
played as a real season.

Evaluation-based entry. Division assignment before play. A fixed 14-week season earned through performance.

How Play Works

Teams enter a structured Founding Season system where placement is determined through evaluation before the season begins, followed by a fixed 14-week competitive schedule.

PTL Founding Season uses evaluation weekends to determine initial division placement before the season begins. Teams are finalized only after this process.
