From the tournament desk
To promote a more enjoyable and fair experience for all, USTA NorCal has implemented a ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY for unsportsmanlike conduct by players and spectators. This policy will be diligently and strictly enforced.
Misconduct by players is governed by the Point Penalty System that assesses point, game and default penalties for misconduct. This ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY is official notice of a warning that is typically given before penalties are assessed. Players will no longer be given warnings, but will be assessed penalties under the Point Penalty System on the first occurrence of misconduct.
NORCAL PERFORMANCE TRAINING (N.P.T) welcomes all participants for a weekend of good tennis and competition.

Questions parents ask
Will my junior get in?
Boys' Singles 12 & under, Boys' Singles 14 & under, Girls' Singles 14 & under are full; the rest have room. 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.
Can we enter two divisions?
One event per player at this tournament. Pick the age group that matches your junior's birth year, or the one up if they are ready for it.
When do we know?
Selections post after entries close (Sun, Sep 20, 2:59pm PDT). Draws usually post the week of the tournament. Text Coach Ace and we will tell you the moment either one lands.
