It appears the USTA may have come to the same conclusion and is making an effort to grow the ranks of 18-39 players in USTA League with a "Refer a Friend Promotion".
I'm a bit late in writing about this as the promotion runs from November 15, 2019 thru February 15, 2020, but there is still a month to take advantage of it. Now, before you rush out to refer each other for your upcoming Winter/Spring team, you'll want to know the terms of the promotion which are:
- From Nov. 15, 2019 to Feb. 15, 2020, you may be eligible to be rewarded with a $25 gift card when you refer a friend to join a team
- To be eligible to receive this offer, you must refer a new or lapsed 18 to 39-year-old player to a USTA League team
- When the new or lapsed 18 to 39-year-old player registers to a USTA League team in TennisLink, they must list your name and email address as the person who referred them
One key thing is the "may", which I believe is just a "while quantities last" limit, and I don't know the limit.
But other is that this is valid only for new or lapsed players age 18-39. So you can't just refer your regular teammates that have played in the past few years, nor will this work if you refer a new or lapsed player that is 40 or older.
Still, this is an opportunity to (re)introduce a player to USTA League and get a gift card out of it. And with the new 18-39 league being played in many sections, there is a new league that may be attractive to the 18-39 crowd.
For those in my area (PNW/Seattle), we just started our 40 & Over league and obviously registrations for it won't qualify, but the 18-39 league is going right now, and registration is open for the 18 & Over league, so go recruit a few new players and get yourself a gift card!
