There are many opportunities throughout the year for tournament players in our state. You can now find and register for USTA Junior Tournaments, USTA Adult Tournaments, and USTA Wheelchair Tournaments at https://playtennis.usta.com/tournaments. The USTA sanctioning process is intended to aid the public, the player, and the tennis promoter. It helps to assure uniformity of the rules of play; it permits the ranking of players on a basis of an accepted standard; it encourages an orderly schedule of tournaments which accommodates the reasonable needs of players, the promoters and the sponsors of organized competition; and it fosters the aim of providing the public with tennis competition of high caliber and ethical standards.  Sanctioning indicates that a particular tournament is an official USTA approved tournament, that the USTA Regulations will be followed, that proper draws will be made, and that the results of the tournament will be considered by the applicable USTA National, Sectional, District, or local ranking committees."

Other non-sanctioned tournament results will not be used for the purpose of junior or adult ranking or adult NTRP ratings.
