TOURNAMENT VOUCHER
For first-time players!
NC Tennis Offers
Junior Tournament Vouchers for L4 & L5 Tournaments
› NC Tennis Offers
Junior Tournament Vouchers for L4 & L5 Tournaments
High School and Jr. Team Tennis Players, Coaches, and
Captains:
The North Carolina Tennis Association is again providing
tournament vouchers for current High School and Jr. Team Tennis players in
North Carolina. The NCTA Junior Competition Committee and Board of Directors
want to provide an incentive for those players in North Carolina to get
involved in USTA tournament competition.
The NCTA will pay the entry fee for the first tournament a
player enters to introduce them to the fun and camaraderie of tournament
tennis. To be eligible, a player must not have played in any
sanctioned tournament in the past. Players may use these vouchers in any
sanctioned junior L4, L5 or Adult NTRP (provided they
allow junior entries) tournament held in North Carolina this year.
L5s are for less experienced competitive players. L4 tournaments offer
more experienced competitive play with no ranking restrictions. NTRP
Tournaments provide play against adult players of the same level. Vouchers
are good for singles OR doubles.
In order to use the vouchers, players must join the USTA
before playing in a tournament. The cost for a one-year junior membership is
$20.00. The membership will allow players to play in tournaments for a year
and also includes a one-year subscription to Tennis magazine, which they will
receive once a month. Players can join the USTA online at www.usta.com or
by calling 1-800-990-USTA (8782).
The purpose of this program is to promote an interest in
tennis in younger players in North Carolina. As you know, tennis is the one
sport that you can continue playing throughout a lifetime. This will not only
help you to increase your skills, but will also sharpen your competitiveness
on the court.

the word L4, L5 after the title)

Tennis players should contact Sara Worth (saraworth@nctennis.com) for free entry fee
vouchers. The players should enter the tournament online and and then present

for their first match. The Tournament Director will send the voucher to the
NCTA office for player reimbursement. No voucher request will be
considered after the tournament online registration deadline
