Our favorite USTA team spreadsheet template

Other captaining software try to sell themselves as the spreadsheet killer, as if you should be paying extra (as a volunteer captain) to release yourselves fomr the shackles of managing your team on a Google Sheet. I honestly don't think spreadsheets are that bad. League tennis has managed how long without fancy software?

Before you pay for league tennis software, give spreadsheets a try. If you've given spreadsheets a try, maybe try out go-to template. I've been using it for years and have heard my players mention that they love it for the teams they captain as well.

As a captain, I really enjoy having the automatic color-coding of player availability on the lineups sheet. It's also nice to have the number of lines each player is assigned to readily available so I can make sure everyone gets an even number of matches (that's my personal captaining philosophy, yours may be different!)

This template is optimized for leagues with the same weekly match time (notably USTA Colorado leagues). You may have to tweak it for leagues with non-regularly-recurring match times!
