Questions parents ask
Will my junior get in?
Boys' Doubles 14 & under, Boys' Singles 14 & under, Boys' Doubles 16 & under, Boys' Singles 16 & under, Girls' Doubles 14 & under, Girls' Singles 14 & under, Girls' Doubles 16 & under, Girls' Singles 16 & under are full; the rest have room.

What is a Level 3?
USTA junior tournaments run from Level 7 (local, open to anyone) up to Level 1 (national). Lower number, stronger field, more points.
