Novi's adult tennis league provides no such obstacle, with 14 matches scheduled on a weekly basis with an opponent at a convenient time and location for both. 

Players, who must be 18 years old by May 16, are assigned the appropriate division based on their level of competitive play and leagues may be reassigned in the middle of the season to ensure competitive leagues. All players must submit their USTA rating, which can be determined at usta.com.

A league banquet is held at the end of the season and the cost is included in the registration price. Division scorekeepers also are needed, and those who volunteer will be refunded their entry fee at the end of the season.
