Junior Tournaments

• USTA Florida sanctioned tournaments (Level 3-7)
• All tournaments on the USTA National Junior schedule
• Results of workshops, exhibitions, or unsanctioned tournaments will not be counted toward the point tabulations.
• Players are awarded ranking points in the 12s through 18s divisions. USTA Florida does not rank players in the 10 and under division.

Rankings are published 3 days before the registration deadline of Florida’s level 3, 4 and tournaments.

If your name does not appear on the ranking list and you have won at least one match in a USTA Florida Junior tournament and met the Florida Residency Requirement, or for any other questions, you can contact Ann Brown. Please have the age division of the player that you are inquiring about and his or her USTA membership number available.

If you disagree with any tournament results, you need to contact the tournament director of that specific tournament. Only the tournament directors can make changes to published tournament results. The accuracy of the ranking lists is dependent on tournaments being published on time.
