Facility Locations

USTA league matches are assigned to various court locations around the Piedmont area.  Be sure to consult your team’s match schedule on Tennislink to verify the locations and times of all your matches.

NOTE:  Piedmont leagues are not Home/Away based.  Being the “Home” team means your team is responsible for supplying the balls.

GRETA Community Member Testimonials

GRETA has allowed our jr's to get more matches and play time.

Jag G.

"GRETA is all about helping the game of tennis grow in our area. A friend moved here last spring from Atlanta and I reached out to the office for assistance in getting this relocated player involved in a tri-level team. BAM! Registered and on a team in a matter of days."

D. Michaels

"After playing recreational tennis 90 minutes a week for a year with my friends, I knew that I wanted to devote more of my time learning this sport I love but I wasn't sure where to start. After getting a recommendation from a member of GRETA, I signed up for the Try Tennis program. Try Tennis introduced me to local tennis pros who helped me start learning proper technique and how to participate in USTA leagues. Thanks to GRETA I am now fully involved in our local tennis community through volunteering opportunities, getting coached by Guilford County tennis pros, and playing weekly tennis with many new friends that I meet playing in Piedmont league matches."
