Why join Junior Team Tennis?
Junior Team Tennis (JTT) is a USTA program that helps junior players improve their skills through clinics, practice matches, and recorded matches in a team format, all while having fun!
Our Mission
Junior Team Tennis (JTT) is a national USTA program that aims to unite young players aged 5-18 to foster individual growth, social development, life skills, and teamwork. It offers increased opportunities for players to compete in level-based doubles, mixed doubles, and singles matches. This unique opportunity also provides young athletes the fun and excitement of team competition with a chance to compete at the USTA JTT Sectional Tournament at which will occur December 6th & 7th at Newks Tennis Ranch in New Braunfels, TX.
What to Expect
All JTT practices, clinics, and matches are held on Sunday's at 1:30 at Bush Tennis Center.
In September, we focus on developing players' skills in singles and doubles through coach-led clinics and practice matches. We will also work on forming teams.
In October, players will compete in recorded competition matches in both doubles and singles.
At the end of the competition matches, the team with the most win in their division will have an opportunity to advance to the USTA Sectional Tournament.
