ABOUT: USTA
JTT
Established in 1991, USTA
Jr. Team Tennis provides youth with all of the health and social benefits of
tennis in a fun and competitive team environment. It promotes social skills and important values
by fostering a spirit of cooperation and unity, as well as individual
self-growth. USTA Jr. Team Tennis is also a fun environment for kids to learn
that succeeding is really more about how they play the game.
USTA League
Registrations for adult tennis leagues are now taking place for those looking
to enjoy the thrill of competition while making friends in the process. Health
benefits of tennis include increased burning of calories, reduction in blood
pressure and reduced stress. These benefits play a role in reducing a person’s
risk of heart disease, the number one life-threatening disease among men and
women. USTA Leagues offer several programs throughout the year that vary by
gender, age, and skill level. Formats also vary by offering singles, doubles,
and mixed doubles. Teams and leagues are
set up by skill level which means matches will be fun and competitive.
