Team tennis was a blast. Our kids played it when they were young and it’s a nice introduction to competitive tennis because of the short format and friendly team environment. We’ve met many friends through it and would highly recommend it.

My daughters enjoyed playing Junior Team Tennis and it helped compliment their junior tournament matches. Plus, JTT uses WTN rating points, which I use to help gauge which players I recruit.
