Junior Team Tennis (JTT) is a local program that is non – gender specific (teams are not required to have a certain # of boys or girls).
- A player may play 1 singles line & 1 doubles lines per match. A player may also play both rounds of doubles. However, a player may not play 2 singles lines in a match.
- A match may be played with as few as three players, or as many as six. For example, if only 3 players are available (Annie, Bella & Connor), then in Round 1, Annie could play singles, while Bella & Connor play doubles. In Round 2, either Bella or Connor could play singles, and Annie would play doubles with the remaining player.
- There are no restrictions on the max # of players, but a suggested team roster would be 8 players to ensure players get ample playtime. Roster size should be based on player availability.
- Each player is required to play at least 2 different team matches, in order to advance to the State Tournament (spring season only). Retirements count toward the 2 matches, but defaults do not.
- In order to receive a schedule, a team must have 4 players registered in Tennislink by the last day of team registration.

Notes:
- JTT uses the traditional tiebreak method (not the Coman used in adult play).
- The match winner is determined by the total # of games won. As a result, it’s possible for a team to lose 3 of the 4 lines in a match, but still win the match, based on total points won.
- No subs are allowed in JTT local play.
All players participating in USTA League are required to be USTA members. Junior memberships are free and can be requested here.
