Junior Team Tennis Spring season is quickly approaching, and the deadline to register your child to play on one of ATA’s teams is January 13th!

JTT is an awesome opportunity for players to compete within a team environment, set goals, be exposed to challenging competition, receive on-court coaching, and play for something greater than individual merit. Teams are based on age and developmental level.

Being on a JTT team is a perfect first competitive experience for JD and QuickStart players (there is even an 8&U Red Ball division) who have never played tournaments, and is a valuable vehicle for more experienced players to work on various areas of their game.

League winners in several levels will represent Austin at the state tournament this May. The last several seasons have seen multiple ATA teams represented in the state championship as well as the national championships.  ATA won 2 national JTT championships this past fall! 

Tentative start of the season is Sunday, February 2nd.  Matches are played Sunday afternoons and consist of 8 game pro sets (2 sets to 4 in 10U divisions). Teams consist of 4-8 players who must commit to playing a majority of the matches. If an occasional conflict arises, it is imperative to communicate with the coach to prevent a default. We schedule JTT matches best we can to not conflict with Challenger, Champ and Superchamp tournaments. 

The cost is $150 for the season, and players must be a current member of the USTA or be willing to register. Become a member online at www.usta.com and click on membership. Fee of $20/year includes access to all USTA tournaments, leagues and a subscription to various tennis publications.

Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee the number of matches per season, because it depends upon how many teams in the city register and how well the team does.

If you have questions or want to sign up your child, please send an email to our JTT Coordinator, brian.notis@austintennisacademy.com  JD level players should email Chad.Loup@austintennisacademy.com with questions or to sign up. 

In your email, please include player’s level (see below), birthdate and USTA membership number. January 13 is the date players need to sign up by. After that date, Coach Notis and Coach Loup will put together the teams, and then schedules will go out after JTT captains meeting on January 22.
