11 & UNDER GREEN BALL 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.- Selection will be done as all selections for 12 thru 18’s. Please see process listed on the home page - 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 32- 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.
