    NorCal Spotlight: USTA NorCal Junior Team Tennis (JTT)

    What to Expect

    USTA NorCal offers JTT leagues in two seasons: Spring and Fall, each spanning approximately 8 weeks. Teams consisting of at least 4 players go head-to-head with similarly skilled teams in their local region weekly, either at their home courts or on the road.

    Local Leagues

    Are you a Program Coordinator looking to add team programming? Look no further. Our Local League program focuses on bringing organized, community-based competition to players in a specific area or region. Each Program Coordinator decides the hub location of play, fee if applicable (charged separately), and who is able to join their Local League program.

    The first 10 programs with at least 12 players per division that complete a season and enter all scores will receive an incentive package, including a case of balls, 1st/2nd place medals, and a $50 gift card.
