All teams will be capped at 48 players. 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!
All Freshman boys are eligible to play UYT in the fall and have the option to play in the high school or middle school league. In the spring, freshman boys who don't make the high school team can participate in UYT. Freshman girls who don't make the high school team are eligible to play UYT in the fall. In the spring all freshman girls can play UYT, and have the option of high school or middle school league.

UYT Middle School/Jr. High Team Tennis:
It is an opportunity for boys and girls grades 6-9 to participate in after-school team tennis. Players of all levels and experience are encouraged to come have fun with their friends. Whether you are an advanced player seeking more opportunities to compete, or a novice seeking to learn tennis, UYT Middle School Team Tennis has something for everyone. There is no tryout to participate on the team. Everyone is welcome.
Competitive matches:
Match competition formats are similar to high school tennis. Each team has a varsity squad, a JV squad, and an exhibition 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 JV Squad consists of the next top 8 players. The format for JV is the same for Varsity.
-
The exhibition squad consists of the next group of players, and they play doubles matches against the exhibition squad of the other team.
-
If your child would like to participate with the team at practice, but would rather not play competitive matches, that is fine.
-
At the end of the 6 week season, all the players will compete in a region tournament, and the 1st place finishers in each Varsity position will compete at Sectionals. First place finishers from the Northern Area will compete in the state tournament in Provo.
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.
