SPORTIME Amagansett matchplay offers rated tennis for all levels
Two guaranteed singles matches and UTR grouping made SPORTIME Amagansett’s June 28 session a ratings-friendly way to play serious tennis without a full tournament.
SPORTIME Amagansett’s Green Dot Matchplay gave East End players a rare kind of weekend tennis: two guaranteed singles matches, no matter their level. The verified UTR event was held Saturday, June 28, at 1 p.m. in Amagansett and grouped players by UTR or level so the afternoon produced competitive reps instead of a mismatched open draw. Fees ran from $75 to $88.13 depending on division and setup.
The format was built for players who want serious tennis without the drag of a full tournament week. Entry was open to all players and all levels, and the listing said match times would be sent in advance. Play was singles, best-of-three sets, no-ad scoring, with a 7-point tiebreak at 3-3 and a 10-point super tiebreaker in place of a third set.
That structure fit a club that sits near the center of summer tennis in the Hamptons. The UTR club profile for SPORTIME Amagansett, also listed as John McEnroe Tennis Academy, Hamptons, places the site in East Hampton and says it is open May through October. The profile lists 33 outdoor Har-Tru courts, 622 members and 163 events, a snapshot of how much organized play runs through the property.
SPORTIME says the Amagansett site is the largest outdoor tennis facility in the Hamptons, spread across 25 acres and serving 500 to 1,000 players and campers each day in summer. The club page also lists USTA and UTR sanctioned tournaments and events, along with four pickleball courts, lessons, clinics and JMTA junior programming for players ages 8 to 18. The John McEnroe Tennis Academy launched in 2010 with SPORTIME Clubs, and the Amagansett site has long doubled as both a training base and a competition site.
The property’s role in the region showed up again in 2023, when the Johnny Mac Tennis Project’s Hamptons Pro-Am at SPORTIME Amagansett raised a record $650,000 in one day. Green Dot Matchplay sat in that same ecosystem, giving summer players a rating-friendly block of tennis that traded the pressure of elimination rounds for two clean matches and a clear level-based path onto court.
For players squeezing tennis into a Hamptons summer weekend, that was the appeal: two guaranteed matches, a fair opponent, and a format that made the trip to Amagansett feel purposeful from the first ball struck.
