In the fall, only doubles are played. In some cities, there are summer leagues for 2.5 to 5.0 ratings. Also, a few cities have fall leagues for singles, though are very small. Adults can also play in tournaments for usually 3.0 to 4.5 ratings. In most states, there are between one and five tournaments a weekend.
Leagues include: 10 and under Juniors adult (broken down into 18-40 and 40 or older, but anyone who is over 40 and still wishes to play in the 18-40 league may do so).

Famous quotes containing the word programs:
“Government ... thought [it] could transform the country through massive national programs, but often the programs did not work. Too often they only made things worse. In our rush to accomplish great deeds quickly, we trampled on sound principles of restraint and endangered the rights of individuals.”
—Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
“Whether in the field of health, education or welfare, I have put my emphasis on preventive rather than curative programs and tried to influence our elaborate, costly and ill- co-ordinated welfare organizations in that direction. Unfortunately the momentum of social work is still directed toward compensating the victims of our society for its injustices rather than eliminating those injustices.”
—Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)
“Will TV kill the theater? If the programs I have seen, save for “Kukla, Fran and Ollie,” the ball games and the fights, are any criterion, the theater need not wake up in a cold sweat.”
—Tallulah Bankhead (1903–1968)
