Zone Team Championship Overview
The USTA will sanction four Zone Team Championships for the 12-and-under age division. The four zones are known as the Northeast Zone, Southeast Zone, Central Zone, and Pacific Zone. Each zone team championship will host concurrently twelve teams of six boys and six girls each (144 total players), who will participate in a non-elimination format.
The USTA 12 and under event goals for Zone Team Championship are: To introduce young players to national competition in such a way that competitive stress is minimized and competitive learning opportunities are maximized.
o To provide the best possible competitive opportunity for maximizing each child’s physical and emotional development.
o To promote the spirit of competition in such a way that the self-esteem of each child is enhanced and strengthened.
o To provide a national competition climate that focuses more on personal development and less on competitive outcomes. The goal to be achieved in zonal competition is to build a strong foundation for success in later years.
