Play Days

Play Days are designed for various levels of players to participate in a fun, low pressure, yet competitive setting. A 2-3 hour Play Day allows kids to have multiple matches with and against a variety of players. Whether the objective is the next step of playing in USTA-sanctioned tournaments and USTA Jr. Team Tennis, or additional playtime for those already competing, Play Days provide an informal yet competitive setting without the threat of elimination. Development and enhancement of skills in a fun atmosphere will enhance their love of the game.

For more information about Play Days, please contact Hayley Horning Shibley in the USTA Northern Office at shibley@northern.usta.com.
