This is a non-elimination format so all kids will get to play multiple matches. For more on USTA's quick start click this tab. more info

With 8-and-under, there are only seven points in a game, so match play is short and sweet. Kids play the best of three games, the first to score seven points wins the game. The first to win two games wins the match. Each match will last approximately 20 minutes. The 9-10 division will also play a round robin with 2 out of 3 four game sets. The first to win 4 points wins a game. Tie-breaker to 7 points if sets are split.

Parents are encouraged to participate as court monitors and help the kids with scoring and line calls. Let Quince Orchard know if you would like to help out.

There will be pizza for all kids participating!
