What is JTT?
Junior Team Tennis, otherwise known as JTT, is a tennis league program that offers summer and fall sessions. These sessions feature age-group competition (10U, 12U, 14U, 18U) and each age group is further divided into skill levels (Beginner, Intermediate-Low, Intermediate-High, and Advanced).
JTT brings together boys and girls ages 8 to 18 to play singles, doubles and mixed doubles matches against other teams. JTT is a competitive level-based environment that promotes individual growth, social growth, team work and life skills.
Junior Team Tennis emphasizes fun, fitness, and friends! The focus is on enjoying the exhilaration of exercise, as well as refining the skills that make tennis fun for players of all ages and levels of competition! The Club at Foxridge is thrilled to provide the opportunity for kids to gather as a team, practice good sportsmanship, and learn valuable lessons that apply both on and off the court!
We offer Summer and Fall JTT leagues to allow more time for the players to enjoy the fun of competing on a tennis team with their friends.
