Leagues

The Scarborough Tennis Federation (STF) organizes interclub leagueplay for adults and juniors in the community clubs in Scarborough. The league runs from Mid-May to Mid August. Teams play once per week, at home and away matches. The format in the adult league is doubles, regulation 2 set matches. In the junior league the categories are under 12, under 14, under 16 and under 18. McLevin is home to three of the most successful STF teams in recent years and we hope to continue that trend in 2008. We will be fielding 1 adult team in the A1 Division, 1 adult team in the B2 Division and 1 team in the Boys B Division (girls are allowed to play on this team).

New players are always welcome to try out for a spot on the teams: tryouts will be held in late April and the first week of May. A1 league matches will start Wednesday May 14, 2008 and every Wednesday until August 13, 2008. B2 league matches will start Thursday May 15, 2008 and every Thursday until August 14, 2008. Junior Boys B league matches will start on Saturday May 3, 2008 and every Saturday morning until June 21, 2008. Teams will play equal number of home and away matches.

We are always looking for strong players to add to our rosters, especially women players for the adult teams. So ladies if you are interested in some good competition and fun tennis, MPTC is the place to be - both adult teams need female players. Please contact us at mclevinpark@hotmail.com.
