FRIDAY NIGHT DOUBLES: Doubles for this event will start after 5:00
pm on Friday evening. There will be no singles on Friday evening -
Just 2 rounds of doubles.
11 & Under Green Update
As you are well aware, there has been an 11 & Under pilot
ongoing to help with the development of our players, by initiating
a 11 & under Green division. A benchmark was added to slow down
the race to 12 & Under yellow, again, for developmental
purposes for the player. As of March 1, 2016, the USTA Southern
Junior Competition Committee is taking the next step. The
"benchmark" will be eliminated. Therefore, the following will take
place:
- For events with deadlines past March 1, you will be able to enter
10 & Under Orange, 11 & Under Green, or 12 & Under
Yellow as long as player is age eligible.
- Player will be able to enter two divisions ( 11 & Under as
well as 10 & Under, 12 & under as well as 11 & Under
etc)
- Selection will be done as all selections for 12 thru 18's. Please
see process listed on the home page below
- Bottom line, if you enter two divisions, you will be considered
for the upper division first and if not selected, then the lower
division. You must play where selected.
- Selections will be based on the player's standing.
- For those entering 11 & Under Green, the 12 & Under
standing will be used for selection until April 1st. At that time
an 11 & Under standing/ranking will be used.
- Draw size will be 16
- Now the choice will be left up to the coach/parent/player on what
division to enter. Please remember though, selection will be based
on standings.
