USTA JR. TEAM TENNIS Players ages 10-18 (preferably ones who have completed Rising Stars or Future Stars) are introduced to competitive team tennis. Teams are grouped based on age and NTRP ability levels 1.5 - 5.0. The program focuses on fun, fitness and the social benefits of tennis. All participants receive a Nike dri-fit t-shirt and awards are given for first and second place teams in each division. There will be an awards ceremony and party at the end of the season. Playing in USTA Jr. Team Tennis this spring will qualify your team for the District Championships in Macon on July 30- August 1, 2010. This is a eight week program of team practices and match play. Team tennis matches will be played on Sundays from 1:30-3:00 and/or Friday afternoons from 4:00-5:30. Matches will be played at Cooper Creek Tennis Center and at the courts of the facilities which have USTA Junior Team Tennis teams as well as other sites. Register as a team with a team number OR register individually and be placed on a CORTA team by age and skill level. Each team must have at least 6 players.
