USTA Auburn-Opelika Junior Team Tennis

Why wait until high school to join a tennis team? Or maybe you want to join another team! USTA Junior Team Tennis, or JTT, brings together boys and girls, ages 8 to 18, to play singles, doubles and mixed doubles against other coed teams. Beyond being fun and a great form of exercise, USTA Junior Team Tennis is a competitive, level-based environment that promotes individual growth, social development and life skills.

Age groups range from  10 and Under to 18 and under. Tennis Pro's, Coaches, or Parents may form teams (any adult team leader MUST be Safe Play certified - see link below; "...COMPLETE SAFE PLAY CERTIFICATION"). Each team must have at least 3 boys and 3 girls, and if a player needs a team one will be assigned to them.  All players must be USTA members in order to sign up; junior players can get a free membership.

There are typically spring, summer, and fall sessions for JTT. If you are a player ask your tennis pro if they have a JTT team for you to be on, and if they do not have a team then send an email to Melissa Shaver at mshaver@auburnalabama.org and he will help find you a team. If you want to form a team or have other questions related to JTT please contact the JTT Local League Coordinator, Melissa Shaver by email at mshaver@auburnalabama.org.
