10 and Under Tennis is exploding in the USTA Southern Section! Painting permanent lines at your facility is the next step toward building and supporting a format that will change the face of youth tennis in America. The USTA now requires that all 8 & Under sanctioned tournament play and USTA Jr. Team Tennis (JTT) must take place on 36-foot courts beginning January 1, 2010. All 10 and Under Tennis sanctioned tournament play and USTA Jr. Team Tennis must take place on 60-foot courts beginning January 2012.
These lines do not affect play for players using the whole court. USTA Southern and the Southern Tennis Patrons Foundation will match dollar for dollar the investment a local community makes toward the total cost of lining courts. This contribution will be capped at 25% of the local match, up to $1,000 per facility. Currently, the cost per court is approximately $250-$500.
