WOMEN'S FALL TENNIS 2026

AKA The short, friendly season.

Weekday mornings, 9:30am starts, four doubles lines, Aug 30th - Nov 20th.

We field A (about 4.0), B (about 3.5), and C (about 2.5–3.0) teams, $10/season. 

Best for: you want a defined 12-week season, you're free weekday mornings, and you don't need a USTA rating. Register yourself on TopDog (first-time password is Play) and your captain handles the weekly lineups.

A1 Team Captains: Victoria Ramirez & Laurie Lowery

B2/B3 Team Captains: Robyn Rogin & Darrin Cohen

C Team Captains: Karen Yoo & Vi Le

2. EBWTL (East Bay Women's Tennis League)

AKA The full-season commitment.

Also weekday mornings and four doubles lines, but running Aug 31, 2026 all the way through May 3, 2027. Same A / B / C split,

$20/full year season - just register yourself on TopDog and accept the waiver. 

Best for: match play all school year, not one fall block. Most of our players do both.

A2 Team Captain: Laurie Lowery

B1 Team Captain: Brenda Pech-Bitton

C Team Captain: Megan Sullivan

Singles Division: Jennifer Walker

3. USTA Combo - Rated Players Only

Three doubles lines, partners' combined ratings at or under the team level. Aug 24 – Nov 1 (daytime wraps Oct 30). The fee is $33 per player, and there's no cutoff - you can join a team at any point in the season. The catch: a Combo team must be fielded from USTA-rated players, at minimum 2.5 and 3.0 rated players for our 5.5 teams, so Combo is not the right entry point if you're new or unrated. Daytime teams play weekday mornings; nights/weekends teams play evenings and weekends. 

Women's USTA Teams:

Combo 5.5 Daytime Captain: Heather Young

Combo 5.5 Nights/Weekends Captain: Julie Bryant

Combo 6.5 Daytime Captain: Daralisa Kelley - (note: team is at capacity)
