Youth Progression for the 10 & Under Player: _The USTA/Midwest
Section has introduced an Youth Progression for tournament players
under the age of 11.
This is being done to ensure that players are using the appropriate
ball, racquet, and court size for their level of play. Within this
system, players will have the opportunity to experience appropriate
levels of competition at each stage of the USTA/Midwest Junior
Tennis Pathway. The rules and regulations put in place will allow
players to progress through the different stages at a pace most
suitable to the player based on his or her competency, age,
participation in competitive play, and results in
competition.
Stages of Youth Progression
Red Ball Tennis to Orange Ball Tennis
Orange Ball Tennis to Green Ball Tennis

Youth Progression Tournaments will be clearly marked on TennisLink.
