MONDAY PARKING
If you are playing on Monday you have several parking options as this is a normal business day. You can go to the main gate and buy a parking pass. If you do this you must park in the lot it requires. We recommend the B spots. F is okay too. If you don't want to pay for parking you can buy a pass and park on El Camino Real, it is not a long walk. C spots and parking in a spot without a pass will earn you a $60 ticket.

Win a match and become a “national player” on Tenn
•Due to the success of the SCU Junior Open in the past 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 SCU Jr. Open will become “national players” on TennisRecruiting.net.
