USA Team tennis (Youth) is a program of team practice and match play for boys and girls, ages 8 to 18, who are competitive qualified and want to play on tennis teams.
Teams are comprised of players from similar age and skill, and they compete against other teams from the
same geographic region in one of three league divisions: 18 & under, 16 & under, and 12 & under.
The coaches will be evaluating all of the advanced players and select the Team for this coming season.
