Oakland/East Bay Competition Training Center Team

The Oakland/ East Bay area USTA Competition Training Center Teams are designed for a group of promising junior players between the ages of 10 and 14 who reside in the Eat Bay Area. All players accepted into the program, will be provided with instruction with sports science and allow for drills and match play with the other top juniors in the East Bay area.

Yes, anyone can apply, but not all players will be selected. The CTCs are structured to provide further training for NorCal's 14 and under players. A top twenty list will be devised using the 4-2 formula - the 4 returning players and the next 2 moving up. A player with a birthday from January through June will be defined as a player moving up, and a player with a birthday from July through December as a returning player. If you are not selected to be on the team your credit card will not get charged.

January: 20, 27 from 12:30-3:30 at Laney College. February:3, 10, 17, 24 from 12:30-3:30 at Laney College. All other dates are to be announced.
