Eligibility: The minimum age for a player to participate in USTA competitive events is 5 years old. Ages 5-7 are recommended to play in red ball events, ages 7-9 are recommended to play in orange ball events, and ages 9-11 are recommended to play in green ball events. Orange ball players must use a 25” or shorter racquet. Players advance from orange to green ball by earning play points and advance from green to yellow ball by earning enough play points and win points in green ball.

Age Divisions: Junior Circuit events are based on ball color and not specific age division. Although a player may move to 12U the month he/she turns 11 years old, a player older than 10 may also continue to play Junior Circuit events to develop their skills.

Format: This event will be a non-elimination round robin event with scoring format determined by number of participants.

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, Dec 14, 4:59pm CST). Draws usually post the week of the tournament. Text Coach Ace and we will tell you the moment either one lands.
