Yearly membership in the Moorpark Tennis Club is only $25 per single and $32 for a family. This includes a newsletter of upcoming events such as socials and USTA news. At the start of each year, each member gets a complete roster of members, the new calendar of events, and other tennis news. In 2005 we began a discounted 3-year and 5-year membership option.
Since you only receive a club roster at the start of the year, once you join, you can look up a member's phone number or email on the roster from this site. You do need a password to open up the roster. Ask Randy for the password.Below are the NTRP ratings. You will need them when you apply for membership if you do not know how to rate yourself. If you are a new player to USTA, always rate yourself lower than where you think you are. Don’t worry, if you are that good, USTA will move you up real quick.
