Earn your way up our ladder, towards national pro level teams, through NEPC’s deep bench of players at all skill levels.
This system offers a thrilling contrast to our club’s recreational blue square play.
Each game is recorded in the Give ‘N Take Web-App and the point differential goes towards your +/- Balance. Tracking points in this manner keeps our members and nonmembers games focused and sharp.
Separate yourself from the competition by building up a positive balance and you won’t just be competing, you’ll be climbing NEPC’s ladder of players. Our NEPC staff keeps an eye on high performers. Show your prowess, and we’ll place you against more formidable teams and events, offering you the perfect arena to showcase and hone your skills.

The Give ‘N Take guarantee may not apply to national pro level players competing in the league (depending on their level relative to the other pros competing in the league).
Give ‘N Take is a separate account from CourtReserve. If you are participating in your first Give ‘N Take event, the club will create an account for you (if you haven’t already created one). The Give ‘N Take account must be under the same email as your CourtReserve account. If you are setting up a private match to report scores on your own, you will need to create your own Give ‘N Take account.
Yes, you can setup a private Give ‘N Take match any way you want: mixed team vs mixed team, 3 women and 1 man foursome. All Give ‘N Take matches are kept track under the same +/- system.

No! While many of our events do fill up quickly, our flex-league format ensures that you can still be part of the league even if you can’t make every event. We’re constantly refining our league schedule to accommodate players who haven’t had the chance to participate in previous events. Additionally, our web-app allows you to set up your own matches and report scores independently.
Our league is very popular, and we’re committed to enhancing the experience for all players. As we continue to grow and adapt, we strive to make it easier for more participants to enjoy and get the most out of the league.
Sign up for a Give ‘N Take event on our CourtReserve calendar OR setup a private match and submit your scores through the Give ‘N Take app.
For most Club organized events, yes. But, you do not need to stick with your doubles partner for each event. Each player’s balance is calculated on an individual basis. We do plan to add events in the future that allow players to register without a partner.
