11. Write down your Team Number. Print a copy for your confirmation. You need this number to give to additional players who may register for your team at a later date. (NOTE: If you did not receive a ‘Congratulations’ screen with an invoice number, then your team is not registered and the team number you have is not valid).

1. NOTE: If you are a captain registering players on a brand new team that you are in the midst of creating, proceed to step ‘b’. If you are a player registering for an existing team, be sure that you have your team number from your captain and then proceed to http://national.usta.com. Then, click on the “Register for a team” link under the “League Play” section.
2. Enter the USTA number of the player or players starting on Line #1 (NOTE: Captains be aware – The USTA number that was used to log into TennisLink will always appear on the first line of the registration screen. Do not register yourself twice!!).
3. Enter your new team number for the current season.
4. If you do not have a USTA rating, the system will prompt you to enter your self-rating. If you are a captain, please do not register players who need to self-rate UNLESS THAT INDIVIDUAL HAS INFORMED YOU OF WHAT LEVEL HE/SHE WANTS TO SELF-RATE AT!! If you choose a rating for another person and they do not agree with that rating, it cannot be changed once a match is played. If you self-rate for another person and a grievance is filed against that person for playing below their ability, you may be held responsible as well.
5. Once you have added all players, click the “Next Step” button.
6. The payment screen will then appear. Enter the necessary credit card information and then click the “Continue” button.
7. When the confirmation page is displayed, you are registered!!
