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 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.

Questions parents ask
Will my junior get in?
No draw is full yet. Selection is by ranking list, so a junior with no ranking can still get in when a draw is not full, and goes on the alternate list when it is.
What is a Junior Circuit?
USTA junior tournaments run from Level 7 (local, open to anyone) up to Level 1 (national). Lower number, stronger field, more points.
When do we know?
Selections post after entries close (Mon, Oct 5, 5:59pm EDT). Draws usually post the week of the tournament. Text Coach Ace and we will tell you the moment either one lands.
