Junior Tournaments

There are three levels of sanctioned tournament competition in Southern California. ”Novice”, “Satellite” and “Open” tournaments. We recommend that juniors start playing in novice or satellite tournaments. Novice tournaments are one day events where players play numerous opponents over the course of hours. Satellite tournaments are for players that are not ranked in the top 50 in Southern California (or top 40 in the 10’s). The majority of the players involved in satellites have had little tournament experience. Open tournaments are for players at a more advanced level and have moved beyond satellite competition.

Adult & Open Tournaments

“Adult” tournaments are offered for a specified age group. “Open” (open to all ages) tournaments are offered for all ages. These tournaments can be USTA or UTR sanctioned events and sometimes offer prize money for the finalists. Our open tournaments are now designed as “feed-in” draws where the lower rated players play in the early rounds and the higher rated players feed into the draw in the later rounds.  The goal is to encourage participation from players of all levels while, at the same time, creating competitive matches for all participants.
