It is a combination of practice and match play with an emphasis on skill development, fun, teamwork and friendly competition. The local season consists of competing against other area teams of similar age and ability level. Teams can then choose to participate in the USTA Northern Championship series, including a shot at a National Championship for the 14U and 18U Intermediate A and Advanced divisions!

"I love the fast-paced, high-pressure matches that come with playing JTT. Playing in those intense and high-stress matches has helped me during the high school season. I also enjoy the team aspect of playing JTT. It is rewarding to win matches as a team when most of the year you are out there on your own competing."

~Sonya Das – 2012-2013 MN State A Champion

Score Reporting: Local match scores must be recorded within 48 hours of completion of a team match with the exception of the last match of the local season, as scheduled in TennisLink, which must be recorded no later than 24 hours after completion in order for those matches to count toward player eligibility. Twin City Scheduling Options:

USTA Youth Protection Policies and Procedures for USTA Jr. Team Tennis (Safe Play Program): Safe play is designed to help ensure a safe environment for all participants through the use of screening, education and reporting tools. For USTA Jr. Team Tennis team coaches/managers, this includes a mandatory Background Screening (Free for two team coach/managers per team and valid for 2 years) and a 30-minute online video. Background screening approval can take up to 10 business days, so coaches are advised to plan ahead. Individuals who do not complete the Safe Play Program will be locked out of TennisLink and not have coach access. For more, visit www.usta.com/safeplay.

Play Level Changes: Description of Play Levels We rely on the INTEGRITY of the coaches and program administrators to place players in the appropriate level to the best of their ability. Below are general descriptions of the different play levels and rules to guide you in placing your players correctly to maximize skill development and enjoyment. 10 and Under (uses 60’ court and orange ball)

Player can keep score unassisted, can call own lines, can serve overhand from the baseline and has understanding of basic rules.

• Advanced - Player has dependable strokes with increasing directional control and depth of groundstrokes. Player is starting to recognize opportunities to attack short balls by coming to the net. Player has added variety in shot selection by using lobs, overheads, volleys, and approach shots with some success. Player is developing a game plan, serving with good consistency, and is now forcing some errors with power and/or spin.

RULES & REGULATIONS FOR USTA JR. TEAM TENNIS **These supplement the 2014 USTA National Jr. Team Tennis regulations, which can be found at www.ustajtt.com. Additional Area and Local Program regulations may also apply. The RULES OF TENNIS and THE CODE shall apply to all matches played in USTA Jr. Team Tennis except as modified herein. The Friend At Court, which includes the Rules of Tennis and The Code, can be found at: http://www.usta.com/GetInvolved/Officials.aspx Local Season Format of Play: When the coach/team manager prints out the scorecard the format is on the card. Most local team matches consist of:

• One male and female singles match • One male and female doubles match • Two mixed doubles matches

Most local programs use an 8 game pro-set scoring format with a 7pt tiebreaker at 7 games all. The winning team will be determined by total games won. Standings can be viewed at: http://teamtennis.usta.com. The JTT Local Program Coordinator has the flexibility to set up the playing and scoring format that best suits the needs of the local program. Note: The Area Playoffs and Section Championships use the same match format, except only one mixed doubles match is played. An 8 game pro-set, no-ad scoring format is used with a 7pt tiebreaker at 7 games all. Tournament director reserves the right to alter this scoring format, if needed. Local Match Procedures: What if a team doesn’t have the required number of players for a local match? If a team doesn’t have enough players for the match, the coach/team manager should contact the opposing team to let them know 48 hours in advance. Play as many of the positions as you can possible with the players available. The team that is unable to field enough players may substitute in a player(s) of the opposite gender and/or have two players of the same gender participate in two individual matches within a team match. In no event shall a player participate in three individual matches within a team match. These matches will count toward the local play requirements necessary to advance. Rain: If you think there may be rain, please connect with the opposing coach/team manager. Decisions related to playable courts are the host facility’s responsibility. Don’t assume that it is raining everywhere!!! Check in: Coach/Team Managers or another designated person should check in for the team match. Line-ups will be exchanged and court assignments will then be given out. Rescheduling: It is recognized that emergencies do occur. If a coach/team manager is notified in a timely manner that there will not be enough players to field the team, then effort must be made to reschedule the match. If teams cannot agree on a reschedule date, the matches must be recorded as defaults in TennisLink. If running late—call opposing team coach/team manager to allow flexibility with tardiness. Coach/Team Managers have the responsibility to report tardiness or late cancellations to the program coordinator. Line up: Coach/Team Managers in all divisions are highly encouraged to communicate their team’s “order of strength” prior to the match to allow for the best match ups between players. Players who are not registered on that team in TennisLink are not allowed to play. Order of matches: Coaches should exchange line-ups and look to see if any players are playing twice. If so, those players should play their first match right away. If no players are doubling up, it is recommended that singles go out first, then doubles, and then mixed doubles and any exhibition matches. This will depend on court availability.

11

Coaching: Coaching is allowed only on changeovers, and is limited to 90 seconds. Coaching is allowed after the first game, but it must be kept short and cannot be a disruption to the flow of the match. No coaching is allowed during a tie-break. The coach should encourage the player and offer constructive criticisms when sandwiched between positive comments. (Ex. Great cross-court returns in that last game; remember to keep your feet moving in between shots; let’s keep it up, I like your focus out there.) Match: When the match is complete, each player must come to the net and shake hands to congratulate the opponent. It is important that coach/team managers convey the message of good sportsmanship through their actions and the directions given to the players. Local Program Expectations: Local program expectations are in place to ensure that a high quality program is administered by all involved, and that those who violate our expectations are held accountable. It is recognized that emergencies do occur. If a coach/team manager is notified in a timely manner by the opposing coach of a situation, they should be flexible and try to accommodate the other team. • All coaches be approved through the USTA Safe Play Program. • Teams shall be knowledgeable of the program rules and regulations and adhere to them. • The coach/team manager is responsible for holding their players accountable to play and act in accordance to

the Rules of Tennis and The Code as outlined in the Friend At Court. • Coaches, players and spectators are expected to display good sportsmanship and treat all players, coaches,

and others in attendance with respect at every match. • USTA Northern expects the local program match environment to be free of drugs, tobacco and alcohol. • Teams must register all of the players participating in local program matches on TennisLink prior to their first

match. • The local match scores are expected to be recorded in TennisLink within 48 hours of completion of a team

match with the exception of the last match of the local season, as scheduled in TennisLink, which must be recorded no later than 24 hours after completion in order for those matches to count toward player eligibility.

• Once a team registers in TennisLink and commits to a local program schedule, they are expected to honor that commitment and bring at least 6 players to every scheduled match.

• If a team is unable to field enough players for a team match, they shall notify the opposing coach at least 48 hours prior.

• Teams shall make an attempt to reschedule all local program matches that were not able to be played on the original date.

• Teams are expected to have at least 3 courts available for every home dual match and 6 courts for every home pod match.

• Coaches, players, and parents are expected to express any concerns through the proper channels in a dignified manner.

If an opposing team does not meet one of the expectations, please describe the situation in writing and send to the Section Coordinator. Those incidents will be documented and tracked, so struggling programs and repeat offenders can be identified. The Section JTT committee reserves the right to enforce sanctions on programs who violate the expectations, if deemed necessary.

HOW TO UTILIZE PARENTS AND OTHER VOLUNTEERS

EFFECTIVELY

It is a good idea to have a committee oversee the USTA Jr. Team Tennis program, especially if you are a volunteer-based organization to divide the workload, install appropriate checks and balances, and ensure longevity and consistency in case someone leaves. These positions/responsibilities will vary depending on your type of organization.

It is very important to be specific about what role you would like someone to play and what the commitment level will be. Make sure everyone knows what their responsibilities are and what the responsibilities of the coach and program coordinator are. Examples of various roles are listed below. Some parents/volunteers will be willing to commit to more time than others. President/Program Coordinator:

• Responsible for overall coordination of the Jr. Team Tennis program • Will attend or have a representative at every official program meeting. • Will provide members of the Jr. Team Tennis committee with program information, policies,

philosophy and any other necessary information during the course of the year. • Responsible for securing sponsorships and community support. • Responsible for contacting all participants who did not come back from the previous year to find out

why and invite them back. (This can be delegated to someone else as well). Secretary/Treasurer:

• Responsible for all correspondence of the committee as well as the accurate and timely processing of the minutes from all committee meetings.

• Responsible for keeping records of all income and expenditures as well as make appropriate payments with the approval of the committee.

• Make all deposits • Provide required financial reports when necessary. • Maintain an accurate accounting of all Jr. Team Tennis program fees that have been paid. • Research the appropriate individual program fees necessary to cover costs of the Jr. Team Tennis

program. Example operational costs include: court rental fees, annual USTA Jr. membership (if you roll it in), shirts, tennis equipment, travel, and tournament entry fees.

Team Manager (might be one person or 2-3 per team):

• Responsible for administration duties for their team(s). • Submit necessary program forms to USTA Northern office • Register teams and players on TennisLink (can delegate to parents and/or players) • Work with the coach and the program coordinator to schedule matches against opposing teams. • Register team(s) for any tournaments they wish to participate in. • Record scores in TennisLink after each match • Provide information to coaches, players, and parents in regard to rules, practice and match schedules,

uniforms, equipment, required forms, etc. • Coordinate transportation to and from each away match, if there is not a transportation coordinator. • Assist the coach at tournaments and matches • Conduct player and coach evaluations at the end of the season. • Assure coaches comply with committee and USTA Jr. Team Tennis program policies. • Check player eligibility in accordance with USTA Northern program policies.

16

Coach/Instructor:

• Ensure the players have a fun and positive experience while participating in the program. • Responsible for on-court instruction (trainings and resources available). • Coordinate and lead practices (sample drills and practice plans available). • Assign line-ups and work with opposing coach to put out matches during competitions (can delegate

to the team manager, if coach has multiple teams). • Be aware of USTA Northern program rules and policies.

Uniform Coordinator:

• Responsible for working with the team managers and disseminating information on the uniforms in advance (sizing, ordering process) and distributing all of the uniforms once they arrive.

Promotion – Public Relations Coordinator:

• Help promote the program in the community to increase participation. • Submit pictures and results to local newspapers as well as to the tennis organization’s website. • Schedule and coordinate an end of the season party • Prepare certificates and awards for an end of the season party (if applicable).

season at the beginning of the year. • Work with all coordinators to establish practice times and schedules for all local facilities • Obtain necessary permits and payment of fees (if any) for use of local facilities.

Transportation Coordinator:

• Ensure that all players have a way to get to the matches. • Provide transportation, if needed. (Make sure you review your insurance policy with them. Most

DO NOT cover transporting kids in vehicles). Communication Coordinator:

• Distribute information when needed to the other parents. For example, if a match time/location changes, inclement weather, etc.

• Establish a calling tree to disseminate information quickly or look into call services (i.e. Calling Post).

USTA EMERGENCY CARE GUIDELINES

Taken From Part 4 of Friend At Court

Introduction: Emergency Care Guidelines help prepare Tournament Directors for medical emergencies and evacuations in case of disasters. The ordinary standard of care does not require a Tournament Director to be trained in emergency medical care. However, familiarity with these guidelines allows Tournament Directors to be prepared for medical emergencies and evacuations in case of disasters. Tournament Preparation: It is important to think about the possibility of a medical emergency taking place at your tournament ahead of time. Once you have anticipated this possibility, you have already begun preparation. Consider having the following in place at the start of the tournament: Emergency Phone Numbers:

- Identify at least one working phone on site. If you are using a cellular phone, keep it fully charged and verify that it works on site. Many cellular phones do not connect in certain areas or locations.

- Know the phone number and location of the nearest hospital. - Know the phone number of a local ambulance company. Let the company know beforehand that you are

hosting a tennis tournament, and speak to appropriate personnel about the best protocol to follow in case of an emergency.

- Remember, when in doubt or in case of a medical emergency, call 911, which will activate the emergency response system and prompt an emergency medical vehicle to be sent to your site.

- Walk the tournament site in order to know the best way for an emergency vehicle to enter. - Review with pertinent tournament personnel the emergency phone numbers and the protocol for

activating 911. - When activating 911, or when calling the local ambulance company, keep your instructions clear and

indicate the following: - The number of people who are in need of emergency medical care - Their ages (or approximate ages) - The location - The person to whom emergency medical services should report

- In addition to activating the emergency response system, try to locate the parent or guardian of a minor as soon as possible. For adults, try to locate the spouse, parent or next of kin as soon as possible. Remember, for emergency medical care, activating 911/emergency response system takes precedence over calling family members.

Supplies (On Hand):

- Towels: Verify that ample towels are available for clean up and for use by players, if necessary. - Water: Verify that ample drinking water is available on site. - Ice: Verify that ice is available for both heat illness and acute strains/sprains. - Gloves: Verify that exam gloves are on site, as they are to be worn by anyone who may come into direct

contact with blood—which includes caring for an injured player or spectator/staff—or cleaning a blood spill.

- First Aid Kit: A basic first aid kit may be used within your comfort zone. Do not dispense medication except upon the documented recommendation of a physician on site. Basic first aid kits include:

- Band-Aids, both small and large - Medical gauze - Athletic tape and Elastic (ACE) bandages - Plastic bags, including red plastic bags

18

The text contained herein is for informational purposes only. The United States Tennis Association does not assume liability for any information contained herein. Any and all emergency care decisions should be made in consultation with a licensed professional.

On-Site Emergency Care: The following sections describe medical situations and conditions the Tournament Director may encounter. Remember, best practices mean identifying that someone needs emergency medical care, and then accessing emergency treatment via 911 or a local ambulance company.

Universal Precautions: Universal precautions is a term that means any human blood—including body fluids tainted with blood—is considered contaminated and potentially infectious. Thus, latex exam gloves are worn by anyone handling blood or blood products, and the individual handling the blood should have no open sores (non-latex exam gloves are available for latex-allergic/sensitive individuals). As a practical example, exam gloves are worn by an individual who is applying pressure with a towel or bandage to a player who is bleeding. Blood spills on court are best cleaned in accordance with current USTA Regulations (Friend at Court: The USTA Handbook of Tennis Rules and Regulations: medical timeout). If a mop and water are not utilized, a towel with water is acceptable. In this instance, the individual cleaning the court is wearing exam gloves. Blood products are disposed in readily identifiable red plastic bags.

Heat Illness: Heat illness refers to an acute medical condition that arises from a combination of dehydration and overheating within the body. Heat illness occurs most commonly in hot, humid conditions, especially if there is little wind. It is important to be aware of the temperature and humidity throughout the day, and to anticipate heat illness occurrences when the apparent temperature, or heat index, is equal to or greater than 90 degrees, as per the chart below.

The symptoms and signs of heat illness include unusual or excessive tiredness, headache, nausea (with or without vomiting), cramps, dizziness, passing out and high body temperature. Heat stroke is a medical emergency, and typically individuals appear acutely ill, have a high body temperature, and are unable to drink any fluids.

Post signs advising players to drink plenty of fluids before, during and after play. Try to provide and identify areas with shade for cooling, plenty of fluids, and cold, wet towels or icepacks. If the player cannot drink or has no desire to drink, has lost consciousness or has a change in level of consciousness, or if there is any doubt about the player’s condition, arrange for emergency transport to the nearest hospital via 911 or a local ambulance company. While awaiting emergency transport to arrive, remove the player from the heat and cool the player with cold, wet towels applied to the body—specifically the armpits, groin, and head.

19

Acute Allergic Reactions/Anaphylaxis: Acute allergic reactions are most likely to occur at a tennis tournament as a result of an insect bite or a bee/wasp sting. The reaction can range from localized swelling and discomfort, to more generalized swelling, to difficulty breathing with wheezing, to a life-threatening cardiovascular collapse. Localized reactions can be treated with ice. If the rash continues to worsen, if there is any difficulty breathing, if there is wheezing or facial swelling, or any changes in the level of consciousness, arrange for emergency transport to the nearest hospital via 911 or a local ambulance company. Some players may have an established history of severe allergic reactions and may have experience using Epipen (epinephrine auto-injector). Such players may self-administer Epipen in accordance with their comfort zone. Even in this scenario, activate the emergency response system to ensure immediate medical evaluation and management of the individual. Strains/Sprains: Acute strains and sprains usually occur in the setting of a fall. Symptoms include localized swelling and pain. Acute management includes limb elevation with application of ice and a compression bandage (ACE bandage). Remember: RICE: Rest; Ice; Compression; Elevation). Best practices include players consulting with their physician for further management. For severe strains and sprains, best practices include evaluation that day, either in a physician’s office or in the emergency room, in order to rule out an underlying fracture. Other Emergencies: Life-threatening emergencies can occur at any time, and can include a seizure, heart attack, sudden fall with head trauma, or sudden collapse. Your job is not to make a diagnosis, but to activate the emergency response system via 911 or a call to the local ambulance company. It is important to maintain an environment of calm, and to remove all unnecessary people from the scene. Medication: Do not administer medication on site, including aspirin, products containing acetaminophen, or over-the-counter cold remedies. Some over-the-counter products contain medications that may be banned by the Tennis Anti-Doping Program. It is the player’s responsibility to properly take such medications under the direction of his physician, his guardian, or both. In addition, never supply any food supplements, protein drinks, or energy supplements other than standard sport drinks (e.g., Gatorade). These supplements may be tainted with banned substances for doping control.

20

Thunderstorms and Lightning: Lightning is a potential severe hazard and life-threatening consequence of an approaching storm near outdoor tennis matches. It is important to be prepared for immediate cessation of all matches or warm-up in the event of lightning. In essence, if lightning is sighted, stop all activity and direct everyone to seek appropriate shelter. A 30-30 rule may be used, which is as follows:

- If lightning is sighted and thunder then occurs in 30 seconds or less, instruct everyone on site to seek appropriate shelter. Dividing the number of seconds between lightning and thunder by 5 gives the distance of lightning in miles. (For example, a flash-to-bang count of 30 seconds means a distance of 6 miles.)

- Resume tennis activity after a minimum of 30 minutes has elapsed since the last lightening strike was seen. The primary shelter choice is any substantial, frequently inhabited building with working electricity, telephones and plumbing. While inside, avoid using electrical devices or telephones attached to cords, and refrain from taking showers. If such a building is not available, the next safest location is a fully enclosed vehicle with a metal roof and closed windows. Do not touch the metal framework while inside the vehicle. Avoid the following locations:

- Open fields - Proximity to open water - Trees, flag poles, or light poles

If anyone has been struck by lightning, activate emergency medical services immediately. If possible, move the injured person to a safer location. Inside the “Friend At Court” there is a Heat Index Chart which provides general guidelines for assessing the potential severity of heat stress. Individual reactions to heat will vary. It is noteworthy that heat illness can occur at lower temperatures than indicated on the chart. In addition, studies indicate that susceptibility to heat illness tends to increase with the very young and the elderly.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: What information do I need to register players? A: Team Number (ex. 5551231234), Players’ USTA membership numbers Q: How do I get a team number? A: As a coach/administrator you can go to http://tennislink.usta.com/teamtennis to create the team(s) and

generate the team number(s). Creating a team is free and must be done by May 30th. Step by step instructions are included in the coach/team manager guide under the TennisLink Tutorial. Note: you will need to create new team numbers each season.

Q: Can players register themselves? A: Yes, once you have generated a team number, players can register for your team in TennisLink. They will

need the team number, their USTA membership number and a credit card to pay the program fee. Step by step instructions are included in the coach/team manager guide. An electronic version can be found at www.northern.usta.com. Players must have a valid USTA membership through 7/31/2014. They can join/renew by calling 1-800-990-8782 or online at www.usta.com/membership.

Q: How do I find USTA Membership numbers? A: There are a few different ways. 1 – We encourage you to ask on your registration materials, so you can

collect membership numbers from participants at the outset. 2 – You can login to TennisLink and find membership numbers for all of your returning players on the 2013 team rosters. 3 - You may submit a roster list to Sandy Smith at [email protected]., and Sandy will check to see who has current USTA memberships and submit numbers back to you.

Q: How do I purchase multiple USTA Memberships? A: Collect players’ names, birth dates, mailing addresses, email addresses, and gender. Note: email addresses

cannot be the duplicate. Input this information into the bulk membership form and submit to Sandy Smith at [email protected]. An electronic version can be found at www.northern.usta.com/ under General information/Forms. Your bulk membership form will be submitted to Member Services and you will have the membership numbers back within 3-5 business days. This form also serves as the Organizational Member Referral form. At the conclusion of the season, organizational members will receive $5 for each new member who was signed up. You need to contact Sandy Smith in order to redeem.

Q: Do I have to have all of my players registered on TennisLink prior to the team registration

deadline? A: NO. Players MUST be registered on TennisLink prior to playing in their first match, whenever that may be.

You can add players throughout the season until July 10th. However, changes to rosters for the Area Playoffs and Section Championships have to be approved by the Section Program Coordinator.

Q: If I have two teams in the local season at the same level, can I combine them or move players

around for the Area Playoffs? A: YES. Please contact the Section League Coordinator at 952-358-3291 to review substitution and eligibility

rules. Q: How many players do you recommend per team? A: 8-10. This allows some flexibility if players need to miss a match, yet the team is still small enough that the

players get to play and feel like a valued member. Q: Who is in charge of recording match scores? A: The home team coach/captain, but the visiting team coach/captain should go on TennisLink to confirm that

the correct scores were entered within 48 hours.

22

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS, CONTINUED

Q: When is the age cut-off date? A: A player must remain age eligible through August 31st of the Championship year.

Q: If my team plays a team in a different division will it count as local play (ex. 18 intermediate

playing an 18 and under advanced team)? A: YES. You will need to inform the USTA Northern Staff at [email protected], so that they can set up that

match for you. Q: What happens if both teams decide to play extra matches, can those matches count? A: YES. You will need to contact your Local Program Coordinator. They can set up an additional match in the

system, so you can record those extra scores. Q: What if I have one player who is advanced and the rest of the team is intermediate, what level

should the team play at? A: If that player is going to play on your team, the entire team must play up to the Advanced level. Check

nearby communities to see if there is another team that individual could play on, so the rest of the team can stay at the more appropriate intermediate level.

Q: If I have two teams, can I switch players back and forth between the teams during the local

season? A: NO, unless you register those players on both teams. Q: Can a player participate on more than one team at the Championship level? A: NO. If a player has received local play history on multiple teams, they must choose which team they would like to participate on for the Championships series. This is true across all divisions, so they can only play on one team in only one division.

SECTION 2: PLAY LEVEL GUIDELINES

AND RANKING LISTS

25

Description of Play Levels: We rely on the INTEGRITY of the coaches and program administrators to place players in the appropriate level to the best of their ability. Below are general descriptions of the different play levels and rules to guide you in placing your players correctly to maximize skill development and enjoyment. 10 and Under: - Intermediate - Player is able to judge where ball is going and can sustain a slow to moderate paced rally of

several shots with someone of the same ability using both forehand and backhand sides. Player can keep score unassisted, can call own lines, can serve overhand from the baseline and has understanding of basic rules.

- Advanced - Player has dependable strokes with increasing directional control and depth of groundstrokes.

Player is starting to recognize opportunities to attack short balls by coming to the net. Player has added variety in shot selection by using lobs, overheads, volleys, and approach shots with some success. Player is developing a game plan, serving with good consistency, and is now forcing some errors with power and/or spin.

Intermediate B – Generally, this player is fairly consistent when hitting medium paced shots, but is not comfortable with all strokes and lacks execution when trying for directional control, depth, or power. Player is improving court coverage and can sustain a rally and serve with consistency. On ground strokes, player needs to improve control of height, depth, direction, and speed. Intermediate A – They have achieved improved stroke dependability with directional control on moderate shots. Player can use lobs, overheads, approach shots, and volleys with some success and occasionally forces errors when serving. They exhibit more aggressive net play, have improved court coverage, and are developing teamwork in doubles. Player is starting to recognize opportunities to attack short balls by coming to net. Player is developing more spin and power on the serve and seldom double-faults. Advanced – This player has developed use of power and spins and can handle pace. They have sound footwork, can control depth of shots, and attempt to vary game plan according to the opponents. They can hit first serves with power and accuracy and place the second serve. They tend to over hit on difficult shots; aggressive net play is common in doubles. Regulations: 3. The USTA Northern junior tournament standings lists are used to set play level benchmarks. Players who

meet the benchmarks stated below as of the first standings list published in April 2014, MAY NOT play in the intermediate division. • For play on a 12 and under Jr. Team Tennis team, players ranked in the top 20 in 12s MAY NOT

play in the Intermediate division. • For play on a 14 and under Jr. Team Tennis team, players ranked in the top 40 in 14s or in the top

20 in 12s MAY NOT play in the Intermediate division. • For play on an 18 and under Jr. Team Tennis team, players ranked in the top 60 in 18s, top 40 in

16s, or top 20 in 14s MAY NOT play in the Intermediate division. 4. If a player is playing up in sanctioned USTA Northern junior tournaments and has a ranking that would

prohibit him/her from participating on an intermediate team in that older age division, he/she is not eligible to play intermediate in any lower age division as well.

5. Minnesota: Any player who advances to the individual high school state tennis tournament in Class AA

MAY NOT play in the Intermediate Division. This includes singles and doubles.

26

6. Teams that win the Section Championship at the Intermediate level must either move up to the

Advanced level as a team or disperse to form new teams at the same level for the next Championship year. The new team(s) may have no more than three (3) players (one boy and two girls or two boys and one girl) who were on the Section Championship roster. The 14 and under Intermediate Section Championship team may also remain intact, if they move up to the 18 and under Intermediate level. Players wishing to stay at the intermediate level must meet the criteria of an intermediate player and be in compliance with all regulations.

7. If a player has ever represented USTA Northern at a National Zonals competition, Boys or Girls 16s

Intersectionals competition, and/or at the Boys or Girls National 18s team championships, they MUST play in the advanced division.

8. During a previous season, if a player participated on an advanced team in their age division and had a

winning record at the Section Championships, they MUST continue to play Advanced in that age division during all subsequent seasons.

2.01G (5)d National Ranking: Players with a national ranking, in any age division and determined at a specified time of the year, must enter at the advanced level (NTRP 3.5 and above) at any age division. Note: Annually, the USTA ranks players in the Boys’ and Girls’ 18, 16, 14, and 12 divisions. The final rankings for a junior age division shall include all players who have accumulated at least 200 points in the division. Only points earned in the age division will count toward ranking in that division. Additional considerations to be included when determining if advanced is the appropriate level for a player:

• Has your player ever played a player on the lists included and if so, was it competitive? • Has your player won the majority of their matches at the intermediate level in that age division during a

previous Jr. Team Tennis season? • Is your player excluded from playing at the intermediate level in another section? • During a previous season, has your player participated on an advanced team and been competitive? This

should not be determined just by record. A player could have a losing record and still have been competitive in those matches.
