USTA Junior TournamentsThe weekend of August 13-15 will feature USTA-sanctioned Singles with Consolation for Girls and Boys 14-and-12-Under. In addition, there will be USTA Level 1 Boys & Girls 10-Under Green-dot Singles Round-robin, with winners and finalists qualifying for the Florida Section Championships. Played at the highest level of the USTA’s 10-Under progression, the “green-dot” ball, with 75% of the pressure of the regular or “yellow” ball, bounces lower and tends to stay in play longer, encouraging younger players to develop consistency and endurance, as well as more natural strokes. Eligibility rules apply. Click here for entry or more information, or just come and watch some great tennis! Play takes place between 8:30am and 7:30pm Saturday and Sunday. The Center will host other USTA junior and adult tournaments throughout the year.
