Amelia Island to Host USTA Florida Kids Team Tennis Challenge in Oct.
Kids love playing on teams, from junior team tennis to middle school tennis to high school. Now the new USTA Florida Regional Team Tennis Challenge is bringing recreational team play to Northeast Florida.
USTA Florida’s Northeast Team Tennis Challenge, presented by Wilson Racquet Sports, will be hosted by the Omni Amelia Island Plantation in Amelia Island on Oct. 11-12, 2014.
Registration is now open for the two-day tournament, which will host divisions including 10-under Advanced, 12-under, 14-under, and 18-under, with three skill divisions: novice, intermediate and advanced. All age 12- to 18-and-under intermediate/advanced teams need a minimum of two boys and two girls. 10-and-under advanced and all novice teams are gender-blind with a minimum of four players and a maximum of eight players.
These “BYOT” (bring your own team) events do not require previous team tennis league participation. Both USTA members and non-members can participate. Registration is $35 for USTA members, $45 for non-members.
USTA Florida strongly encourages coaches to register teams early. Lunch will also be provided.
