***As of 7/15/2024 the ITT League is on hold thru Western Wake Tennis Association***
Since its inception in the early 70s, World Team Tennis, now recognized as Impact Team Tennis (ITT), has been an innovator in the tennis world. Many of ITT’s novel rules have been designed to make the game a “fan-friendly” sport. ITT is all about the fans, it’s a little bit rock n’ roll and a whole lot of fun. Fans are encouraged to come out and cheer local teams on being loud, exciting, and innovative.
The ITT format provides an exciting way of playing tennis with a mixture of singles, mixed doubles, and women’s/men’s doubles in the same match. Only two tennis courts are required to have home matches at your site and only 3 men and 3 women are required to create a team, with a local maximum of 14 players per team (Regional Championships are 10 player maximum). Winning teams from our local league may advance to Regional Championships and ultimately the National Championship. The number of teams in each division determines how many teams get to go to a NQ.
League Information
Winter Adult ITT – League runs November-February with registration beginning mid-September. By the last day of registration, the minimum of 3 males and 3 females must be on the roster. However, teams may add players to their roster during the season if they do not already exceed the maximum. There will be a minimum of 7 matches in the season. Home team provides two cans of balls. You can base your team out of your private club or subdivision if it is in the WWTA area and there are 2 courts. Public facility options are Morrisville Church Street Park, Holly Springs Ting Park, Town of Apex and Town of Cary. Year end ratings from the immediate previous year will be used for the current winter season. Teams have the option to reschedule if the “feels like” temperature (which includes wind chill) is forecasted to be 35 degrees or less at match start time. Both captains should check the hourly forecast using the location of your match on Accuweather or you may use the App on your phone. This decision cannot be made until 2 hours before the match and no other weather resources can be used to obtain the forecast. If captains still want to consider playing in the cold, both must be in agreement. When matches are rescheduled, the new date and time confirmed will be treated as the new match date.
Play days:
3.5 & 4.5 – Saturdays at 1:00 or 3:00
3.0 & 4.0 – Sundays at 1:00 or 3:00
