GETTING READY FOR 2012!
AGE ELIGIBILITY - The Process of Entering a Tournament
(and what this really means)
ALL JUNIOR PLAYERS, competing in USTA sanctioned events, you may play an age division
until the month in which you age up, or, in other words, until your birthday month. This means that
players who are 12, 14, 16 or 18 years old may continue, to play in their 12, 14, 16 or 18 age division
until the month in which they turn 13, 15, 17 or 19, respectively.
For example: A player who turns 15 in October, may play in the 14-and-under age up to and through
September 30. Starting October 1, this player must play in the 16-and-under age division.
As in the past, you may also elect to play in an older age division before you are required to do so.
However, it is IMPORTANT that you consult your Section’s rulings to be certain of your eligibility
in more than one age division before making this choice.
