Junior Tournament Pathway
JR CIRCUIT & MATCHPLAY
USTA Junior Circuit is our entry-level tournament for 13-18 years old. This is a one day, non-elimination format. Players are grouped into flights based on their age and ability. This experience encourages players to develop their skills through level-based play and demonstrate good sportsmanship. Selection is first come first serve.
Jr Circuit events earn WTN and UTR credit.
Likewise, WTN (World Tennis Number) events and Unsanctioned tournaments provide matchplay without ranking points.
LEVEL 7
This is our introductory local ranked event and players begin to earn ranking points. These one-day, non-elimination tournaments are for the junior player with some match play experience. Players are selected by the lowest ranking points. Players must play in their own age group.
12U: Intermediate green ball.
For players age 12U who have finished their "PlayTracker Points" or are still developing on a green ball.
Age groups 14 - 18 will compete with the Yellow Ball.
L7 events affect WTN, Ranking Points, and UTR.
LEVEL 6
L6 Intermediate local tournaments last one to two days. These are traditional advancing tournaments. Many of our high level high school players enter the level 6's in the 14's-18s. Also intermediate 12 year olds. The players should have experienced some success in level 7 tournaments.
Age groups are typically 12s-18s and players are selected by ranking points.
