A flex league, in four moves.
01
Pick your level
Start at 2.5, just back to it, if you’re new. We place players from 2.5 to 5.0, and the signup form shows what each level looks like.
02
Get sorted into a division
You’re placed with a small group of players within ~0.5 NTRP of you. Smaller pool = real rivalries, not random strangers every match.
03
Propose matches your way
Offer up to three times and a court to one opponent. They can choose one or counteroffer. Or post an open window and let any division-mate respond.
04
Play. Report. Climb.
Either player enters the score. Your record, rating, and local standings update after each league match.
Whatever your game looks like.
We’re not just for ringers. The whole point of dividing into divisions is that you play people at your level.
NTRP 3.5–4.0
Plays most weekends.
Has a regular hitting partner, but wants more matches and a real reason to keep score. Tracks the climb without taking it too seriously.
NTRP 4.5+
Tournament background.
Wants competitive matches without the politics of club leagues. Plays for a rating and a visible place in the local standings.
Brand new to leagues? Start at 2.5, just back to it. We adjust your rating after the first few matches, so you’ll land in the right place even if you guessed.

A note from the team
We started HQ.tennis because we love league tennis but kept missing matches when life got in the way.
Most leagues lock you into a Tuesday night for eight weeks. Miss two and you’re cooked. We wanted the structure of a league — real opponents at your level, real standings — without the rigidity of a fixed calendar.
Flex leagues solve that. You get matched into a small division, and you and your opponents work out times that actually fit your week. We just keep score.
We’re starting with DC while pools form in Charlotte and Palm Beach. We’re going to do this slowly and well. If that sounds good, come play.

The usual stuff.
What's NTRP and how do I know mine?
NTRP is the USTA rating scale. HQ places players from 2.5 (just back to it) through 5.0 (tournament-level). New to leagues? Start at 2.5. The signup form shows what each level looks like, and we adjust as you play.
How is this different from team leagues or rating apps?
Traditional team leagues often revolve around a shared weekly schedule, while rating apps primarily track results. HQ.tennis is built around local singles play: join a small level-based pool, choose your opponents, and arrange each match around your own calendar.
What if I can't find a time with my opponent?
Offer up to three times directly to a player, or post an open window for the week and let an opponent in your division respond. Either player can counteroffer, and confirmed matches can be rescheduled without losing the original booking until a replacement is accepted.
Who pays for the court?
You and your opponent split the court fee at whichever public or club court works for both of you. We surface saved courts and search for nearby options when you propose a match, but we're not a booking service — you arrange the reservation.
How long is a season? How many matches?
This season runs September 1 to December 15 and is already open. About 8 weeks left. We recommend at least four matches. Your results and rating carry through the standings.
I'm rusty / new to leagues. Is this for me?
Yes. Start at 2.5, just back to it. You'll play people at your level, and you can ramp up the volume on your terms.
Doubles?
Singles only. The league places you with one opponent at your level.
What does it really cost?
Free this season. No card. You and your opponent split the court fee. A later season fee, if we add one, will be explained to you before it applies.
When do matches actually start?
This season is already open and runs through December 15. Sign up and we’ll place you in a division.
