JUNIOR TEAMS AND TOURNAMENT PLAY

We currently have 2 Fall Alta Teams for the upcoming season. If you would like your child to participate, please email me. Registration for a new team has closed but we have spots available on our current Boys 12U team as well as Girls 15U. We are very close to having a girl’s 10U Orange ball team. If you have a daughter interested in joining us let me know. WINTER USTA We will be having a 12U Mixed gender team this winter. Play beings in January and runs through mid- February. I am looking for a few boys to fill and 16U team. If you would like to participate please reach out. We need 4 boys and 4 girls per team. This is good practice ahead of the high school tennis season for those that would like extra practice. We are looking to build a tournament team that can play tournaments together and have a coach on site with them watching and evaluating the matches. Both league play and tournament play gives coaches an idea if the students are progressing in matches under pressure as they develop through the program. Registration for the tournament team will begin October 1st at which time a calendar of tournaments will be developed for parents and students participating in the team.
