Tennis Events
Courtside Club hosts and participates in many tennis functions throughout the year. In February, we sponsor the men's professional SAP Open and host its qualifying matches. Our annual Get Physical Against Breast Cancer Pro-Am brings the tennis community together to raise money and awareness for an important cause. We also host the Smash Wheelchair Tennis auction and fundraiser. Other tournaments at Courtside include: CCS Boys & Girls Championships and USTA NorCal seniors and juniors tournaments.
Tickets for premier tournaments are often available at the tennis reservation desk, including the SAP Open, Bank of the West and NCAA championships at Stanford, and the U.S. Open.
National Tennis Rating Program (NTRP)
NTRP is the official system for determining a player's competitive skill level. It helps all players enjoy the game more fully by facilitating more compatible matches, group lessons, USTA league play, tournaments and other Club programs.
NTRP is a self-rating system. And instead of the old system, which used the letters A, B, C and D, NTRP uses a number system that begins with 1 (for beginners) and increases in increments of 0.5 up to 8 (world-class level). For more information, visit the USTA NorCal Web site.
