Welcome to USTA Junior Team Tennis
Junior Team Tennis (JTT) is a fun recreational program for 7 to 18-year-olds to compete against other local teams. Our NorCal leagues are designed to offer team-based competition for all levels. Play weekly matches during the spring, summer and fall seasons. What’s most important is that you have fun and use these match play opportunities to enjoy your growth and development as a player while connecting and supporting each other as a team.
Travel Leagues
JTT Travel Leagues offer an enjoyable, safe and supportive team environment for our youth players to participate in live match play. Teams are generally composed of 4 - 8 players and compete against other similar level-based teams within a local region.
