Drop-in drills

Book the ones you can make.

The most popular thing we run for adults, and the least demanding to join. No season-long commitment. You reserve the sessions that fit your week, and that is the whole obligation.

Four USTA levels: 2.5, 3.0, 3.5 and 4.0, so you are drilling with players who hit like you do.
Ninety minutes, built around point play rather than feeding lines.
Led by experienced coaches, for men and women, tailored to the level on court.
No commitment beyond the session you booked.

Leagues

Three ways to play matches that count.

Each one works differently. Pick by how much travel and commitment you want, not by level alone.

Ladies · 2.5–4.5+

NITTL

The Northern Illinois Traveling Tennis League. Five Star fields multiple teams across skill levels, with weekly practice, round-robin play and competitive matches. Email nittl@fivestartennis.com to be placed on a team.

Four counties

WikaDuke Tennis

A competitive league across Will, Kane, DuPage and Kendall counties. Men play Sundays at 7pm, women Thursdays at 10am, and mixed doubles Sundays at 7pm. You register once, join the WikaDuke mailing list, then reply to the coordinator’s weekly email to say whether you are in that week.

Email to register: name, phone, experience and rating

2.5 and up

USTA Adult Teams

Competitive USTA teams at 2.5 and above: men’s, women’s, combo and mixed doubles, from adult beginners to advanced players. Matches primarily take place on weekends, and joining a team means committing to it for the season.

Match play terms. Registering for WikaDuke or any adult match play means agreeing to six things: you pay any match fees before the match; you can cancel free up to 48 hours ahead, and inside 48 hours the full charge goes to the card on file; you keep a valid credit card on file with the club; you play by the rules and keep it competitive but friendly; you bring your own racquet, gear and water, since the club provides only the court and balls; and you play within your level and tell us promptly if your USTA rating changes. Breaking these terms can cost you your match play privileges.
