A USTA Junior Circuit is a fun program that utilizes a non-elimination round-robin draw format for players of all ages to gain match play experience in a tournament setting with a focus on individual results. This experience will encourage players of all ages to develop their skills through level-based play and demonstrate good sportsmanship.

This is a Orange & Green Ball event and players will be grouped into flights based on their experience. 10U Orange ball and 10U/12U Green Ball divisions count for the Net Generation PlayTracker. In Junior Circuit events Boys and Girls divisions of the same ball color may be combined to co-ed to facilitate matchplay. Junior Circuit events with yellow ball divisions are separate from the ranked tournament space. Green Ball and yellow ball divisions count for World Tennis Number (WTN) ratings.

DRAW AND MATCH FORMATS

All draws are round robin or round robin with a playoff. Match formats will be one short set to 4 (one more game at 3-3). Scoring will be no ad scoring.

IF A PLAYER SUBMITS A WITHDRAWAL REQUEST AFTER PLAYER SELECTION HAS BEEN PUBLISHED, AT WHICH TIME REGISTRATION CHARGES ARE PROCESSED, BUT BEFORE THE DRAWS HAVE BEEN PUBLISHED, THE PLAYER WILL NOT RECEIVE A REFUND BUT WILL RECEIVE A CREDIT TOWARD A FUTURE TENNIS CENTRAL TOURNAMENT.

AFTER THE DRAWS HAVE BEEN PUBLISHED, NO REFUNDS OR CREDITS WILL BE ISSUED IF A PLAYER IS SELECTED AND UNABLE TO PLAY FOR ANY REASON.

There will be no refunds or credits issued once a tournament has started and match play has begun. If the tournament doesn't happen wherein no matches are able to be played at all due to inclement weather, or any other unforeseeable event, a credit for the entry fee (minus the processing fee) will be issued towards a future tournament in the Tennis Central Tournament Circuit. This credit will last up to 1 year from the missed event.

In order for the credit to be applied, and the system NOT to charge you when the player selection list is published, it is recommended that players / parents do NOT register on their own and reach out to me beforehand if they intend to use a credit; to make sure that the system does NOT save any payment information since you always get asked for it when you register on your own.

MAF JUNIOR CIRCUIT QUESTIONS: Please email: tournaments@mas.usta.com

Are there warmup courts available? Typically, only prior to the earliest matches of the day. Because we normally reach our facility capacity during tournaments, we need all of the courts for match play. There are free public courts at Whitman School, about 1 mile from our location, they are usually first come, first serve.
