Junior Circuit
Junior Circuit / 10 & Under
A USTA Junior Circuit is the perfect introduction to tournament play for players 10 years of age or younger!
These events use a non-elimination, round-robin draw format so players can gain match experience in a tournament setting and then see their individual results. These fun events give youth the opportunity to develop their skills through level-based play while learning and demonstrating good sportsmanship.
Competitors will begin playing Orange Ball (on a 60 ft. court) and earn their way to Green Ball (full court). Results go into the players profile in the Net Gen Play Tracker.
10U Players are eligible to enter the USTA Junior Circuit event in the ball color (Orange or Green) they have achieved or lower as determined by the Net Generation PlayTracker. 10U players must accumulate 1000 play points in orange ball before progressing to green ball. Players in green ball will be required to meet 1500 points on the Net Generation PlayTracker in order to play in yellow ball 12U + Junior Circuits or USTA Tournaments that offer national ranking points. At least 1000 of these points must come from win points. At age 11 players will age out of the Net Generation PlayTracker program.
Junior Circuit / 11 & Older
While no USTA ranking points are awarded, there are Junior Circuit events that are open to all players ages 11-18 who are able to serve, maintain a rally, and keep score.
