The USTA Pacific Northwest invites you to tune up your tennis game this winter by playing USTA Jr. Team Tennis (JTT). JTT emphasizes teamwork, skill development and friendly competition in a fun and social environment. The program brings kids together in teams of three boys and three girls based on similar age groups and skill levels (10 and Under teams require five players). Teams play singles, doubles and mixed doubles against other teams in their local leagues.
Each team is led by a parent manager or team coach who registers to form a team by contacting the USTA Jr. Team Tennis coordinator in their area. The following leagues are currently looking for players to join their league and parents to coach teams. Grab your friends and hit the courts! It's JTT time!
