From the tournament desk
Draws and times are posted! Please note we are using 3 locations:

NO REFUNDS/CREDITS AFTER ENTRIES CLOSE .
Read the rest
Please DO NOT ask for a refund or for a credit if you need to withdraw from the tournament after entries have closed. There are many fees and up front costs (sanction fee, USTA fee, courts, balls, refs, staff, etc) that are associated with organizing and running a tennis tournament. Those expenses are all based on how many participants enter a tournament and we do have to pay them regardless of play. Also, keep in mind that when a player signs up, that player takes away a spot that could have been used by another player who is ready to play. For all these reasons and many more, there are no refunds or credits once registrations close.
We are using multiple locations. We also have backdraw for all round of 16 match losers. Back draw to be played on Saturday, with finals on Sunday. Please check all draws for exact location and time of matches.

Questions parents ask
Will my junior get in?
Boys' Singles 12 & under, Boys' Singles 14 & under, Boys' Singles 16 & under, Boys' Singles 18 & under, Girls' Singles 14 & under, Girls' Singles 16 & 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 (Tue, Jul 21, 2:59pm PDT). Draws usually post the week of the tournament. Text Coach Ace and we will tell you the moment either one lands.
