Texas Junior Team Tennis
Junior Team Tennis (JTT) is a program that provides organized match play in a team setting. Through singles, doubles and mixed doubles formats, team competition helps kids develop a sense of individual contribution within a group.
JTT promotes social skills and important values by fostering a spirit of cooperation and unity, as well as self-growth. Whether they win or lose, kids learn that succeeding is really more about how they play the game.

Junior Team Tennis is a team match play product for players ages 6-18 who are comfortable with match play formatting and looking for additional practice in a fun team environment.

With Junior Team Tennis, you’ll learn about unity, sportsmanship and how to work together to achieve success.

JTT is a fun alternative way to increase match play experience with the support of your team to cheer you on.
While USTA Junior Team Tennis provides an environment for players to become more confident with match play, all participants are expected to be able to serve, rally, and score without assistance.
If a player isn't ready, the USTA Team Challenge is an excellent opportunity for them to develop their match play experience! These programs are regularly hosted at local tennis centers, schools, and other community organizations.
