UYT Elementary Grades 3-5 tennis league:
This is a great opportunity for elementary students (grades 3–5) to participate in after-school team tennis! All players are welcome—no experience needed. Kids are encouraged to come have fun, learn the sport, and enjoy playing with friends. There are no tryouts—everyone makes the team!
The format will be the same as the 7th-9th-grade middle school team tennis league, but will use age-appropriate orange balls and court size to aid in the technique development, and include instruction designed for the age and skill level of the players.
All teams will be capped at 24 players, and schools that have large numbers may be split into several teams. Schools with low registration numbers may be combined with nearby teams.
Our hope is that each school will have their own team, and not need to combine, so spread the word to your friends!
In the event that there are not enough participants for this season to have a girls and boys leagues, we will combine and have a co-ed league.
Fees:
-
$157 (entire season and postseason) = $145 UYT fee +$5 Tennis Circuit fee + $7 Stripe fee
Matches:
Match formats are similar to high school and middle school tennis competitions. Each team has a varsity squad and JV squad.
-
The varsity squad consists of the top 8 players. The varsity squad of one team will play against the varsity squad of another team in the following format: 1st Singles, 2nd Singles, 1st Doubles, 2nd Doubles, 3rd Doubles.
-
The rest of the team is on the JV squad. All players on the JV squad play doubles.
-
If your child would like to participate with the team at practice, but would rather not play competitive matches that is fine, just please let us and your coach know.
At the end of the season, the teams and players will compete in post-season tournaments.
Coaches:
Each team has its own coach that runs practices and matches and is in charge of player placement and development. The coaches are hired from a pool of local tennis coaches and competitive tennis players. There are also paid and volunteer assistant coaches who help the kids throughout the season. If you're interested in supporting as a coach click HERE to apply and for more information. Children of coaches who play on their parents' team are able to participate in the league for free. Siblings of coaches will still need to pay to play. All coaches are independent contractors, screened and contracted to coach and run their respective teams.
