Tri-Level is the latest USTA League offering competitive matches consisting of three different NTRP levels.  The format consists of three doubles matches.  For example, 1st court 3.0 doubles, 2nd court 3.5 doubles and 3rd court 4.0 would compete against a team of the same combination of NTRP levels.

Kentucky Tri-Level has grown from 60 players that participated in the Fillies Championship in 2006 to over 400 players.  Adult and Senior divisions are offered in the Tri-Level League.

Local league winners advance to a State Championship, with the state champions advancing to a Tri-State Championship with Arkansas and Tennessee.
