GREEN BALL
The USTA Southern California 10U Green Ball Grand Prix is for players residing in Southern California. Top point earners from each season will be invited to a two-day Early Development Camp, focusing on fundamentals and athletic development for 10U players.
All players will be part of the USTA Net Generation Pathway and earn Net Generation PlayTracker points. USTA Junior Circuits do not contribute to National rankings.
Points for the Grand Prix are displayed on the Match Tennis App, with updated standings published bi-weekly.
USTA Junior Circuit events utilize a one day non-elimination round-robin draw format for players of all ages to gain match play experience in a tournament setting with a focus on individual results. This experience will encourage players of all ages to develop their skills through level-based play and demonstrate good sportsmanship.
10U Players are eligible to enter the USTA Junior Circuit event in the ball color (Orange or Green) they have achieved or lower as determined by the Net Generation PlayTracker. 10U players in green ball will be required to meet 1500 points on the Net Generation PlayTracker in order to play in yellow ball 12U + Junior Circuits or USTA Tournaments that offer national ranking points. At least 1000 of these points must come from win points. At age 11 players will age out of the Net Generation PlayTracker program.
To determine a player’s level and eligibility, log in and visit the player profile at USTA.com.
