Junior tennis tournaments are the perfect opportunity to take your game to the next level. Perhaps you want to begin your playing career as an entry-level player and compete your way up to national level tournaments, or you may be a more recreational player who just plays a few friendly tennis tournaments a weekend near your hometown. No matter which level you desire, there’s a tournament for you. We offer several formats of tournaments, too:

• Round robin

• Feed-in championships

• Team events for you to compete in across our five-state area.

This variety allows our next generation of tennis players to compete in a way that makes them feel comfortable, matches their level of play and helps them to experience success.

Once you have determined you want to try a junior tournament, you can use the USTA's online searchable calendar to quickly view tournaments in a variety of USTA Missouri Valley locations near you. In this window, you can filter by entry level tennis events as well as by your district and/or zip code to view a listing of tournaments in your area. Most tournaments that are entry level will be non-elimination formats and will not count for a ranking. They are designed for players interested in testing the waters with tournament play.
