GUIDELINES FOR PLAYERS AND SPECTATORS
If you do not feel comfortable playing tennis, DO NOT PLAY. Only play if you are comfortable playing. Each person is responsible for his or her own safety and wellbeing.
If you are sick with any symptoms at ALL, DO NOT ATTEND OR PLAY A MATCH!
Ultimately, however, it is up to each player/parent to decide whether to participate in any event. Further, every player is expected to take all reasonable precautions to protect themselves from the risk of exposure.
MATCH ETIQUETTE
Arrive 30 minutes before your match. Consider traffic and the possibility of getting lost if this is your first time at our location(s). You are late if you arrive at 9:01 am for a 9:00 am match. All penalties will be enforced for late arrivals.
If you are 99% sure a ball is out, then the ball is IN. Demonstrate integrity and character when calling lines. A ball is only out if you are 100% certain of it. If you have any doubt, continue to play the point.
The Server says the score before EVERY point. If you disagree with a stated score, do not play the point, amicably discuss the correct score before proceeding with play.
Parents cannot speak with players for any reason while they are on court competing. This is a USTA rule violation.
Only PLAYERS can ask for USTA officials to come on court -- NOT Parents, NOT Coaches. Inform your player of this before matches.
SINGLES CONSOLATION DRAW MIGHT NOT BE COMPLETED.
SCHEDULE IS MADE BASED ON THE USTA RULES AND GUIDELINES FOLLOWING MAXIMUM ALLOWED SINGLES MATCHES PER DAY. IF YOU HAVE A BYE IT COUNTS AS A ROUND BECAUSE OTHER PLAYERS WHO DON'T HAVE A BYE HAVE TO PLAY. WE CAN'T START PLAYING ANOTHER ROUND UNLESS ALL MATCHES IN THAT ROUND ARE COMPLETED. PLAYERS CAN PLAY UP TO 3 SINGLES MATCHES PER DAY. PLAYERS CAN PLAY MORE MATCHES IF ALL PLAYERS IN THE SAME ROUND AGREE TO PLAY ANOTHER ROUND.

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 (Sun, Oct 18, 4:59pm CDT). Draws usually post the week of the tournament. Text Coach Ace and we will tell you the moment either one lands.
