We look forward to another fun season on the courts with the kids and appreciate your involvement with the league. When forming your team, remember to check each player’s record to determine proper placing. Check Tennis Link to access your players’ records for last season. For all players that competed in the Winter Section Championships, calculate their winning percentage by combining the season and sectional match results. Defaulted matches do not count when determining a player’s win/loss percentage.
Please remember that you’ll need to register at least (6) players when submitting a team by TUESDAY, 1/31, along with your Team Confirmation Form. I would like to ensure that once teams are submitted, we can avoid any teams dropping out and changes to the schedule once it is made.
New for this season – it is recommended that two coaches be listed per team, however if additional coaches are submitted, a $5 fee (subject to change with notice) shall be charged, per coach, for their criminal background screening. Also, please check with me if you need confirmation whether or not your background check is currently valid. The background screening is valid for one year and must be repeated annually.

Finally, as some of you have expressed in the past, revisions of the rules or procedures are sometimes needed to improve our league. Your input is appreciated, however suggestions must be provided in writing (via e-mail). All suggestions shall be voted on by the JTT committee. If approved, then it shall be proposed to the Junior Committee. Then finally, must be approved by the HPS/USTA Board of Directors.
