The Saint Louis JR Summer Open is proud to be a part of the Tennis Recruiting.net National Showcase Series. Tournaments in the National Showcase Series are USTA Sanctioned junior tournaments open to all players in all Sections. These tournaments are designed to give a broad range of players the chance to compete outside their districts and sections - and these tournaments will count towards Tennis Recruiting rankings !! Players who compete in these tournaments and win at least one match will become NATIONAL PLAYERS for their Tennis Recruiting rankings.

All 2013 competitors who win a match in the St Louis Jr. Summer Open (BG18-12) will become “national players” on TennisRecruiting.net. This tournament in 2013 will be in a class that will determine “national players” on TennisRecruiting.net. Heretofore a "national player" is one who has competed in a USTA Level 1-3 tournament or in one of the Sectional tournaments that count for USTA national rankings. Because of the reduction in size of many of the USTA tournaments on its national schedule, TennisRecruiting.net is allowing several tournaments in 2013 to determine additional “national players” for its ranking system. This upgraded qualification is done annually. All 2013 competitors who win a match in the St Louis Jr. Summer Open will become “national players” on TennisRecruiting.net.
