About the League
The adult league began in 2023 after SVTA's first Adult Beginner Clinic. People loved their new sport, but what they needed were more opportunities to play. Thus, the Adult Rec League was born. The league has been and still is organized, maintained and played by volunteers who donate their precious time to make things happen.
