The USPTA Junior Circuit™ is a series of tournaments created to introduce less experienced junior players to competition and allow them to prepare for higher-level tournament play. The junior circuit is also a natural progression from advanced Little Tennis^® to non-qualified competition for junior boys and girls ages 10 to 18. This program enhances tournament experience and prepares the player for more advanced competition at USTA-sanctioned tournaments, if that is the player's goal.

Best of all, it places no requirements or restrictions on tennis teachers or on beginner competitors. This program combines fun and camaraderie, and it is easy for anyone to participate, including teaching professionals, junior pros, parents and entire communities. The junior circuit introduces tennis and healthy competition to thousands of young players who can play the sport their entire lifetime.

Key elements for a USPTA Junior Circuit include:

The USPTA Junior Circuit was conceived and developed by teaching professionals to fit the specific needs of their students and cities. Like all USPTA programs, this activity is designed to give ultimate control of how the program is run to local teaching professionals, who know what will work best in a particular location or for a distinct group of customers. In addition to promoting and increasing local tennis activity, the program allows flexibility by placing no requirements or restrictions on tennis teachers or on the beginner competitors. The USPTA Junior Circuit builds positive tennis experiences for junior players and enthusiasm for the sport throughout the community.
