Rush Copley B14-16 & G18 November Classic - MW Level 4

On July 29, Governor Pritzker of Illinois issued a directive on youth sports that aims to minimize the risk of the spread of Covid-19 by limiting gatherings at youth sport events and interactions of players from different Emergency Medical Services (EMS) regions. Even though tennis is identified as a low-risk activity, the State feels that certain types of events include a heightened risk of exposure due to the involvement of many more participants, family members and spectators. As such, in order for USTA to host junior tournaments in Illinois, USTA will be following strict Covid-19 safety protocols and making selections of players based on EMS region.
