Weather update at 10am
Tournament has been cancelled. Currently rain with light drizzle in Coppell and the courts are saturated. With the forecast for more rain / drizzle after noon combined with cold temperatures and very little wind, we fill there is little chance for the courts to dry up enough to allow any matches to be played. All remaining matches will be listed as unplayed.
We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate everyone’s understanding of the situation. Thank you for entering our event and hope to see everyone back on the courts later this Spring!

Inappropriate umpire/spectator communication, whether it be about a ruling or any other facet of a tennis event is prohibited while a match is in progress. Being a parent, coach, etc. does not endow special privileges. With the only exception of the right to remove their own child from competition at any time, a parent or coach is merely a spectator.

USTA Texas "No Late Entries" Policy for Juniors Due to a new USTA Texas internal procedure, junior division players will NOT be able to register for a tournament after the online published deadline. We are aware that currently parents reach out via email or phone to the USTA Texas staff and/or tournament director requesting to be manually added to the tournament after online registration has closed. If a player misses the registration deadline, then he/she will not be permitted to participate in that tournament
|
Registration Confirmation: As a parent or player it is your responsibility to assure registration in the event. Regardless if you register on the website or mobile app after completing the registration you should visit the USTA web driven site and confirm your registration by finding the player in the applicants list. If you select to skip this process please be aware that should any malfunctions of the system occur, players will not be granted late entrance in the event due to a system error.
