Colorado Junior Tournaments
Take your game to the next level
Tennis tournaments are a wonderful way to improve your game, meet new people and develop terrific life skills. Tournaments are offered all year long with a lot of them in the summer. Kids generally play a tournament in their respective age group and can earn points to earn their way to sectional and national tournaments.
USTA Sanctioned Junior Events are offered in a variety of formats, including individual, team, non-elimination and elimination. There are also competitions for wheelchair players. This wide range allows you to compete in a way that makes you feel comfortable, suits your level of play and helps you experience success.
A note on Age Division: You should play the youngest age division for which you are eligible when starting off. Later, some kids move up an age group to get more competition. If you have a birthday the MONTH of the tournament you will need to consider yourself that age. For example, you are 12 and you turn 13 the month of the tournament, you will need to move up from 12 & unders to 14 & unders. If you are 11 and turn 12 that month, you can still play 12 & unders.
A FREE USTA Membership is required to participate in all USTA tournaments.
10 and Under players
If you are a 10U Player, you will play Orange Ball (60 ft. court) Tournaments first and earn your way to Green Ball (full court). These events are called Junior Circuits.
A USTA Junior Circuit is an event that uses a non-elimination, round-robin draw format for players of all ages so you can gain match experience in a tournament setting and then see your individual results.
USTA Junior Circuits do not count towards earning national ranking points. All 10 and Under divisions start here.
Players 11-18
USTA Sanctioned Tournaments are a great way to get out on the court and test your game. You’ll have every opportunity to learn from the best, play against the best — and even make new friends along the way.
By participating in USTA Junior Tournaments, you’ll have a better chance to take your game as far as you want — high school, college or even the pros.
