What is a Player Profile?
Great question! A player profile is a web page where a player's rating, match history, and preferences are stored.
Every player at UTRSports.net must activate or create a player profile. Are you a parent, or coach, or simply do not play tennis or pickleball? You will still need to create and complete your profile in order to use our site. You can sign up for UTR Sports at UTRSports.net.
You'll create a player profile during sign-up if you're new to tennis or pickleball and don't have any scores recorded in our system.
You'll activate a player profile if you already have some playing history online. Your UTRSports.net player profile may already exist with match results listed, but you'll need to activate it in order to make changes and customize it.
Here’s How To Get Started!
Step 1: Go to UTRSports.net or download our mobile app
Step 2: Click Join at the top-right corner of the page or Get Started from the mobile app
Step 3: Enter your email address and click Send a Link. You’ll receive a secure magic link in your inbox (no password required!). Clicking that link will instantly log you in and continue your profile activation.
Step 4: Enter your profile info then click Continue. Note that if you’re signing up for your child, this information and e-mail address should be uniquely their own as each child needs their own account at UTRSports.net.
Step 5: Answer a basic question which is the sports you play (tennis and/or pickleball) to claim/create your profile. Note: If you are below 13 years old, you will be prompted to answer if you are a colored ball player.
Step 6: You'll be prompted to answer the Get Rated questionnaire/s to populate your Estimated Universal Tennis Rating (UTR rating) and/or UTR Pickleball rating. The estimated UTR rating will be your provisional rating and will automatically update into a UTR rating once you start adding matches to your profile. Note: You can skip this step by clicking "I'll do this later" below the Continue button.
What happens if there are profiles under my name from the Search results?
You (or your child) could already have a player profile at UTRSports.net - now you need to activate it. Click "Claim Profile" on the information that matches you and activate your profile.
New: Passwordless Login (Magic Link)
UTR Sports now uses a passwordless login system to make signing in and activating your player profile faster and more secure. Instead of creating or remembering a password, you’ll receive a magic link sent to your email. Clicking this link will instantly log you in and activate your account.
Note: Magic links are single-use and time-bound to protect your account.
How It Works
Web
- On the login page, enter your email and click Send a Link.
- You’ll see a message to check your email, along with a short timer before you can request another link.

- Check your inbox for the UTR Sports login email.
- Tap the link, and the UTR app will automatically open and sign you in.
- If the link is expired or invalid, you’ll have the option to try again.
- You’ll receive a UTR Sports-branded email with your personalized magic link.
- The email clearly shows when the link expires and reminds you not to share it.
If you see a message that says the profile has already been activated, STOP!
This normally isn't a case of a bandit grabbing up your profile - typically another family member made a profile for you (or your kiddo) and is a step ahead.
You can do one of the following:
Ask your family members if they activated the profile and request the login information and continue to use the UTR Sports account that has activated the profile.
Contact our support team here for help activating the profile and linking it to the correct login information.
That’s it! Once you have your profile set up, you can view player results or sign up for Events yourself!
