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 Level 1?
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 (Thu, Oct 29, 10:59am CDT). Draws usually post the week of the tournament. Text Coach Ace and we will tell you the moment either one lands.
Text Coach Ace at (213) 410-2440 with your junior's name and division. Ace keeps the file: deadline, selections, draws, and what to do the night before.

USTA Eligibility Information: In order to participate in this event, the player must meet the USTA Eligibility requirements that are listed here .
Player Entry and Selection Procedure: The USTA National Championships permit a player to enter more than one age division. However, it is important to understand the consequences of this decision. If you want to play in a USTA National Championship, but are unsure if you will get in, you may enter up to two different age divisions. When selection is done, players are considered for the oldest age division first.
If a player is selected into the older age division entered, the player will not be selected into the younger age division.
If a player is not selected into the older age division, the player will only be considered for selection into the younger division.
If the player is not selected into either age division, the player will only be eligible to be an alternate in the younger division.
Players shall be selected into the singles main draw in the following order:
National Standings List: 33 players in the order in which their names appear on the most recently published National Standings List (October 29th Publication)
Sectional Quota: 27 total players within Sectional Associations’ quotas. Players not previously selected who are on the Section Quota Lists and within the quota shall be accepted. A Sectional Association’s quota is never reduced because of players selected into the draw by any other method.
Wild cards: As soon as practicable after the deadline for accepting wild card applications, the Wild Card Committee shall award no more than 4 wild cards. CLICK HERE to apply for a wildcard.
Concurrent Entry Policy for IMG Academy International Championships: The IMG Academy International Championships and The USTA National Indoor Championships have overlapping dates which makes them concurrent events. Players are permitted to register for both events (permission from both Tournament Directors is not required), but players may NOT participate in both events. For more information on the USTA's concurrent entry policy, please refer to USTA Regulation IV.C.12 .
Players who registered for and are selected for both tournaments (qualifying or main draw) must notify the Tournament Committees of which tournament they would like to participate in by November 17th . Players who withdraw from one event to participate in the other after the date of November 17th , or who apply for and receive wildcards for one of the events and then subsequently withdraw from the other will be assessed suspension points for withdrawing to play in another tournament. Players may not participate in both events.
