For years, recreational players searching for a tennis league near me or a pickleball league near me have often encountered the same frustrations: inconsistent scheduling, uneven competition, lack of control over who you play with, and a lack of transparency in standings. Local leagues have long been built on passion, but not always on structure.
UTR Sports is changing that.
“As a former coach, I learned that players improve fastest when competition is structured and fair. Recreational players deserve that same standard. PlayMore brings real organization and competitive integrity to local tennis and pickleball leagues and that changes the experience for everyone involved," said Chase Hodges, SVP, UTR Sports.
With the nationwide expansion of PlayMore Leagues™, UTR Sports is introducing a new standard for organized doubles competition in both tennis and pickleball. Designed for competitive recreational players who want consistency, fairness, and a clear pathway to improve, PlayMore™ brings Verified ratings (UTR and UTR Pickleball), structured weekly play, and transparent standings together into one unified league model.
At its core, PlayMore™ is simple: show up each week, compete at your level, and know exactly where you stand.
For tennis players, PlayMore™ offers fixed-partner doubles leagues with scheduled weekly match times, Verified UTR results, and standings that reflect real performance. In pickleball, players compete in level-based UTR-P divisions with organized match days, verified scoring, and automated standings that eliminate confusion and reduce administrative burden. Every match is counted. Every result matters.
By anchoring divisions to the gold standards in Verified ratings, PlayMore™ ensures competitive balance and removes the guesswork that often defines recreational leagues. Players compete against others at similar levels, which means fewer mismatches and more meaningful matches.
But PlayMore™ is more than a weekly competition. It’s part of a larger competitive ecosystem. Participation contributes to advancement opportunities, rewards program points, and qualification pathways that connect local league play to regional and national championship events. The goal isn’t just to play more — it’s to compete with purpose.
This expansion also represents a new opportunity for communities. UTR Sports is actively recruiting League Managers across the country to bring PlayMore™ to additional cities. Tennis captains, club professionals, pickleball ambassadors, and community organizers now have access to league management tools, automated standings, verified score tracking, and operational support that make running a structured league both sustainable and scalable.
In markets where PlayMore Leagues™ are already live, players can register now to secure their spot in upcoming sessions. In areas where leagues have not yet launched, players can refer their local club or apply to become a League Manager.
Recreational competition has evolved. Players expect fairness, visibility, and organization. PlayMore™ reflects that evolution — offering structured, verified tennis and pickleball matches in leagues built for modern competitive communities.
