usta Junior Team Tennis... tennis is a team sport
Why wait until high school to join a tennis team? Or maybe you want to join another team! USTA Junior Team Tennis, or “JTT”, brings together boys and girls, ages 5 to 18, to play singles, doubles and mixed doubles against other coed teams. Beyond being fun and a great form of exercise, USTA Junior Team Tennis is a competitive, level-based environment that promotes individual growth, social development and life skills.
USTA Junior Team Tennis brings kids together for local match play with other junior players in their local areas. The local champions progress to state, sectional, and even national championships. JTT promotes social skills and important values by fostering the spirit of cooperation and unity, as well as individual self-growth.

Junior Ratings
A Junior National Tennis Rating Program (NTRP) rating is a measuring tool that indicates a standard of play that allows players to track their progress as they develop their games. An accurate rating should give a player access to level-based competition. Level-based competition is about grouping players according to ability, regardless of age or gender. For example, players might be grouped together in compatible rating intervals such as 2.4 to 2.7 or 3.1 to 3.3.
To Receive Your Junior Rating
