Do I need to be a Lake Oswego resident?
You do not need to be a Lake Oswego resident to play LOTC City League tennis. Lake Oswego residents on the waiting list will be given first consideration (above non-residents) for openings on LOTC City League teams.

When are the City League matches?
GPCL matches are held on Tuesday and Wednesday between 11:30 am – 2:30 pm. A-F teams play on Wednesdays, G-K teams play on Tuesdays, S team plays on Thursdays. 

How is it decided who is on what team?
A Team Placement meeting is held after the end of the Greater Portland City League Tennis season to determine the LOTC teams for next year. This is typically held in late May or early June. Based on the need of the teams, players may be added from lower teams and/or the waiting list.

What if I turn in my form after the season starts in September?
Players are added to the waiting list year-round. Team openings may happen at the half (January ) due to injuries, moving, changes in work schedule, etc.

What happens if I get injured?
If you are injured, you may stay on a team for the remainder of the half (either Fall or Spring) and have another half to recover, provided you pay dues to hold your spot.  If you are still unable to play after that, you will be removed from the roster. A player who is removed from a team roster due to injury may return to City League tennis by submitting a Lake Oswego City League Participation Form. This person will be considered a Tier 2 player for team placement consideration. However, this doesn’t guarantee the returning player a spot on a team.

What is the match format?
A match consists of 5 matches – 1 singles and 4 doubles. Matches are 2 out of 3 sets with a match tiebreaker played in lieu of a full third set. Matches are played using “no ad” scoring.

How many matches are there?
Each division has 8 to 9 teams. Teams will play 8 matches in the fall season (September – middle January) and 8 in the spring (end of January – May). You will play each team twice – once at home and at their facility.

What is the cost of playing City League tennis @ LOTC?
Since LOTC is a public facility, the teams must pay for the match court time (and tennis balls) for home matches. Most teams have weekly practice courts with one of the teaching pros. Roughly $600 for the whole season (September – May).
