Junior Team Tennis
USTA Connecticut Junior Team Tennis (JTT) is the largest youth tennis program in the country helping boys and girls ages 5-18 get on the court and have a good time. Set up a Junior Tennis Team with a league coordinator and get right to playing and competing in a local youth tennis league. Only two teams are needed to start a league and it can be played anywhere - at local parks, schools or clubs, on a blacktop, cement, multi-purpose courts or gymnasium floors in Connecticut. Tennis courts are not a requirement! Junior Team Tennis matches players of similar age and ability to a team.
Teams are co-ed and divided into five levels of play: 8 & Under, 10 & Under, 12 & Under, 14 & Under and 18 & Under. Junior Team Tennis players have the opportunity to play locally or advance to Sectional and National Championships. ADVERTISEMENT Leagues are forming near you – so get involved in the game of tennis and enhance your skills through participating in USTA youth tennis leagues.

Team Challenge
A Team Challenge is an introduction to tennis competition focusing on team play, parent information, and character development. It is designed to be delivered as a single event or series of up to six events ("league play") with the objective of offering a low pressure environment that allows children to develop their skills through level based play without an emphasis on instruction or results.
