An Important Message!
An Entry Level Tournament (ELT) is an introduction to match play for players that can serve, rally, and score. ELTs are non-elimination, shorter duration events with players expected to play for 2-4 hours. The 10U division uses an orange ball on a 60 foot court, 12U division uses a green ball on a full court, and 14s- 18s uses either a yellow ball on a full court. This allows players to test their individual game and play multiple matches at their level, all while making friends along the way! These events will allow players to compete in a way that makes them feel comfortable and will help them have fun in a low pressure environment!

Players
should check in and be ready to play (warmed up, stretched, and been to
