Price drivers
What makes tennis cost more or less
- Organized vs. self-arranged play. Court time alone can be free. You pay for organization: level matching, scheduling, scoring, ratings and rankings.
- How often you play. A yearly fee only pays off if you play enough. For Rally Jax, that point is 8 matches a year.
- Court surface and facility. Clay courts and staffed centers usually charge. Many neighborhood hard courts do not.
- Team formats. USTA League adds the $44 membership plus team and court fees split among teammates.
- Extras. Balls (a can is usually a few dollars), lessons and gear are separate from any of these prices.
