Southeastern Michigan Junior Team Tennis

JUNIOR TEAM TENNIS: FOR PLAYERS AGES 8 TO 18

Why wait until high school to join a tennis team? USTA offers four unique formats to enjoy team camaraderie and competition at the level that best fits your child. Playing Junior Team Tennis (JTT) is a great way for players new to USTA competition to get started with official match play, as well as for experienced players to develop their skills, sportsmanship and move on to participating in USTA tournaments. Players in these leagues should be able to serve, keep score and rally before participating.

Close to a thousand kids in Southeastern Michigan play Junior Team Tennis annually, thanks to the parents and coaches who donate their time and talents. Reach out to a local JTT coach in your area to get started! View a list of participating clubs in Southeastern Michigan below Under “Facilities Contact Information (JTT Coordinators).” Parents can get involved in Junior Team Tennis, too. If there isn't a Junior Team Tennis league near you, you can even start a team, whether you're a pro or have never picked up a racquet.
