Head to the Find Players page and use the filters to search by skill level, city, state, gender, and partner type (tournament or drilling). When you find someone you'd like to play with, hit "I'm Interested" on their profile to send them a message. You can also browse players by letter or sort by DUPR rating.

On the Find Players page, use the City and State filters to narrow results to your area. CourtConnect has players across every US state — just type your city name and browse matching profiles. You can further filter by skill level, gender, and whether they're looking for a tournament or drilling partner.

Go to the Tournaments page, find an event you want to enter, and click the registration button. Depending on the event, you can register solo, with a partner, or as a team. Some tournaments use external registration links. You can also use the partner search feature to find a doubles partner before registering.
