The National Padel League has launched the country's first amateur league, endorsed by the U.S. Padel Association.

Why it matters: Amateur players in the USA National Team League will represent 40 cities on a national stage.

Zoom in: The sport of padel is a mix between tennis and squash. It's played on a smaller, tennis-style court surrounded by glass walls.

How it works: Amateur players of all levels will play on city-based teams and compete for the chance to play at Miami's National Finals in February.

The league is open to active USPA members 16 and older.

What's next: Registration is open until Oct. 15, and local competitions will begin Oct. 20.
