Parents,
The draws and times will be posted online by Thursday, 10/8. Below are few things to keep in mind so that we have a great weekend of tennis.
• Plan on arriving and checking in 15 min prior to your matches.
• Restrooms are located indoors at the Tennis Center. If matches are taking place we ask that you use the restrooms located upstairs.
• At the end of each match BOTH teams need to report their score.
• We share this video from our colleague in Michigan, Jorge Capestany, each year on How to Watch Your Child Play Tennis. It is worth the watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BqaOdQMB0M8

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 6?
The entry point of USTA junior tennis. One or two days, local, no ranking needed to enter, and every win earns ranking points. The right first tournament.
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.
