Age Division
Adult/Senior Age Division Tournament Tennis offers men and women the opportunity to individually compete in sanctioned tennis tournaments in five year increments, for example; 30 through 90. Age division tournaments offer singles and doubles categories. Most guarantee players at least two matches in each division with a feed-in consolation.
NTRP Division
NTRP (National Tennis Rating Program) tournaments offer players the ability to play tournaments at their appropriate NTRP rating level. Most USTA Florida tournaments offer all available NTRP levels from 2.5-5.0. These tournaments are grouped by level to provide the player with a competitive but comfortable opportunity to compete with others.
Family Division
Includes the following divisions; father-son, father-daughter, mother-son, mother–daughter. Parent and child may enter if they are related; by blood, legal adoption, or current step relationship. A child may play with different parents in different tournaments or different divisions in a tournament. There is also a division with a minimum age restriction for parent.
Wheelchair Division
Created in 1976 in California, wheelchair tennis is one of the fastest growing and most challenging of all wheelchair sports.
Programs for adults are offered in various cities in Florida and Wheelchair Tournament opportunities exist throughout the year.
NTRP Golden Ticket/NTRP Regional Qualifier
The Regional Qualifiers are events in all 8 regions of Florida in which the eligible, qualified winners are guaranteed a spot in the Sectional Championship in early 2024. The winners and finalists of the Sectional Championship will receive an entry to the National Championship
MUST achieve a USTA computer (C), tournament (T) or appealed (A) rating before being eligible to advance to the USTA Florida Sectional NTRP Qualifier or 2024 National NTRP Championships.
- There are 16 tournaments in each category
- 18 and over
- 40 and over
Due to the limited amount of tournaments each year, you are welcome to play in a tournament outside your region to have a better chance of qualifying. (ie. In Duval region 2, the Golden Ticket is held in the fall. If you don’t win, you have limited or no other opportunities to find another by the end of the year. You need to find one outside of your region held earlier in the year to make a first attempt.)
