PLAYER DEVELOPMENT
PLAYER DEVELOPMENT IN TENNESSEE
USTA Tennessee hosts Early Development Camps to provide players with supplemental training and competition. These are invitational camps in which players are selected by results or standings.
The Southern Junior Cup provides an opportunity for players to compete as a team against players from other states. Our teams have designated coaches for the event that facilitate practices, warm-ups, and in-match coaching.
Contact Lowell Coffman, Director of Junior Tennis, for more information.
