USTA Iowa Seeking Teams for Junior Team Tennis

USTA Iowa is looking for clubs, academies or camps to create teams for the Junior Team Tennis 14 & under intermediate league. There will be 3-4 teams for each league. We are looking to have teams play in three different, one day round robin match plays in June.

Week of 6/10

Week of 6/17

Week of 6/24

The top team from each USTA Iowa league will qualify for the district tournament on July 13, at a location in the Des Moines or Ankeny area. The district champion then qualifies for the Section Championship at Lafortune Tennis Center in Tulsa, OK, July 22-24.  

We are also looking for host sites, if you would be interested in hosting one of the round robin match play events. We would need a minimum of four courts per match. Contact Faith Bliss at faithblissusta@gmail.com if you have any questions or are interested in forming a team or hosting.
