On a tennis team, you’ll learn about unity, sportsmanship and how to work together to achieve success. You’ll also learn that success isn’t just about winning; it’s about how you play the game and respond to challenges.
USTA Junior Team Tennis teams offer options for players ages 5 to 18. Players who start on a JTT team are expected to be able to serve, maintain a rally and know how to keep score.
