USTA Florida will be hosting FREE Team Up events across the state to help kids and parents join a Junior Team Tennis fall league. JTT Leagues are for children ages 6-18 of all levels who want to play locally in a fun format.
Team Up events are a great opportunity for kids and parents to gather and meet other players in the area, talk to team captains, join teams, and sign up for upcoming local leagues. Gift bags will be available to players who sign up on the spot (quantities are limited and vary depending on location).
“Team Up events are great for organizers, players and parents,” says USTA Florida Junior Team Tennis Coordinator Liz Coates. “It is a great opportunity for all involved in the local Junior Team Tennis League to meet each other, find out their levels, join teams and to educate parents about the program while having fun on the courts.”
